The 9th edition of Bangalore Literature Festival will begin from December 12 this year. However, there will be a few changes because of the coronavirus pandemic. There will be a small gathering and the event will be streamed live.
BLF began accepting registrations on Sunday. People wanting to attend the festival in person have to intimate the organisers in advance. “We do not want to host a large crowd at BIC in view of the pandemic,” said Mr. Ravichandar, also honorary director of BIC, that has partnered with BLF.
“We were keen on keeping the BLF alive without a break,” said V. Ravichandar, one of the key organisers of BLF. “Several authors are not yet comfortable travelling to the city. So this year, the focus is on Bengaluru-based authors while a few others will join the sessions virtually.”
A lot of famous authors have accepted the invitation for the event, a few of the names include Chetan Bhagat, Jeffrey Archer, Anuja Chauhan among others
