December 2013

The 7th Almost Island Dialogues was held in December, 2013 at the India International Centre in Delhi.

The Dialogues were as intimate and intense as always. The great Hungarian writer Laszlo Krasznahorkai spoke of his life and work, as did the excellent Chinese poet Xi Chuan. Indian poet Arvind Krishna Mehrotra spoke of his journey as a poet, and American prose writer Renee Gladman presented a talk on the relationship between the labyrinth of the mind and the sentence that expresses it. In the evenings there were readings by all the above writers as well as Sharmistha Mohanty, Vivek Narayanan, and Rahul Soni.
