The sixth edition of the Kerala Literature Festival (KLF-2023) will begin on the Kozhikode beach on January 12, 2023. The four-day festival, which was earlier scheduled to be held in January 2022 by DC Books with the support of Kerala Government, had been postponed following the COVID-19 threat.
According to organisers, the sixth edition promises to be an outstanding affair with over 400 speakers including popular writer Jeffrey Archer, Nobel laureates Abhijit Banerjee and Ada Yonath, Piyush Pande, Francesc Miralles, Geethanjali Shree, Wendy Doniger, Ramachandra Guha, Palanivel Thiagarajan, Sanjeev Sanyal, Anand Neelakantan, Shashi Tharoor, Manu S. Pillai, Prakash Raj, and Shobhaa De.
With an aggregate footfall of more than three lakh, KLF is claimed to be the second-largest festival of its kind in Asia combining the best of literary and popular cultures. As one of the most popular literary festivals in the subcontinent, it brings together writers, artists, actors, celebrities, thinkers, and activists closer to people of different backgrounds and interests.
