9/21/15 review of 2015 Jaipur Literature Festival in Boulder, Colorado

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the second day of the Jaipur Literature Festival in Boulder, Colorado.

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the first day.

The Jaipur Literature Festival started in Jaipur, India, in 2006. The Jaipur event has since grown to be the largest free literary festival in the world, with about 300,000 visitors each year. The JLF has grown to include other festival locations, in Australia, New York City, London, and Boulder, Colorado. The 2015 event was the first event held in Boulder.

In my Twitter thread I discuss panels that included Kai Bird, Arshia Sattar, Namita Gokhale, and Will Dalrymple. I relate some of the themes discussed at panels, such as the history of the CIA; religion and violence; faith and objectivity; religion, reverence, and rationality; writers' senses of place and belonging; social media; the environment; and censoring the imagination.

Here is a video of a panel from the 2015 JLF Boulder event, so you have a taste of things.
