Kerala Literature Festival goes online, to last through the year
The Hindu
Opening day featured poets from Palestine, Israel and Lakshadweep
The Kerala Literature Festival (KLF) went online on Friday. The festival, which grew in stature and popularity since its first edition in 2016, would continue through the rest of the year on YouTube and elsewhere on social media. The sixth edition was scheduled to be held in January this year, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced the organisers to cancel it. For the book-lovers of Kozhikode and the Malabar region, the decision had come as a disappointment. The KLF has been very much the annual cultural highlight of Malabar and thousands would come to the Kozhikode beach for four days to listen to some of the brightest minds in India and overseas speaking on a wide variety of subjects.
