After huge success of last years’ literary festivals in
Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, this year
LLF team is warmed up more and hoping to see more people in festival; despite of
the bad security conditions in Lahore.
Few days back a massive explosion in Lahore killed five
people and many injured, but for the love of literature, people around the
world and Pakistan are gathering in Lahore to attend this festival.
The Festival aims to bring together, discuss, and celebrate
the diverse and pluralistic literary traditions of Lahore, a city of the arts,
activism, and big ideas.
LLF features discussions on a variety of subjects; fiction
and nonfiction writing, music, painting, filmmaking, architecture, politics; to
reclaim and employ Lahore is rich and varied literary traditions.
Ayesha Jalal will lead the inaugural session. It is one of
the biggest and acclaimed literary festivals of Pakistan.
