Living texts of new voices, lingering memories and old wounds at lit fest

A narrative from Kashmir to Los Angeles

- Rajesh Asnani/Priyamvada Rana @ Jaipur

The early session on the third morning of the Jaipur LitFest saw authors Priyanka Mattoo and Peter Godwin in an insightful conversation with Sayari Debnath on "Memoirs of Family, Loss and Exile". It was about their different registers of loss and the process of memorialising them as they elaborated on their books and their writing processes.

Author and filmmaker Mattoo spoke about her book "Bird Milk and Mosquito Bones", a narrative of her search for home, from Kashmir to Los Angeles and the places in between.
