New Delhi: Over 80 authors from across the globe including Pulitzer prize-winner Viet Thanh Nguyen, Suketu Mehta and American comic writer G Willow Wilson will attend the second Jaipur Literature Festival at Boulder, US.
The three-day-long festival scheduled to be held from September 23-25 in Colorado, US will feature 50 sessions with world-renowned authors, speakers and musicians from across the globe, the organisers announced on Thursday.
"In these critical times, the penetrating, intercultural dialogue exchanged at this festival of ideas speaks deeply to individuals and gives rise to the joy of community," organisers said.
The opening act, which will be held at the Canyon Theatre, will see a musical performance by London based sarangi player and vocalist Amrit Kaur Lohia followed by a solo theater performance.
Ms Wilson will touch upon themes of feminism and Islam through her graphic novel 'Ms Marvel' about a female superhero among others.
