Comics At The 2nd DSC South Asian Literature Festival
Posted: October 3, 2011
Cherished classical comic books and smart, cutting-edge graphic novels from India are both highlighted again this year at the 2nd DSC South Asian Literature Festival opening this coming weekend with a weekend of exciting events all held at Rich Mix, London. I will be joining acclaimed Indian graphic novelist Sarnath Banerjee and publisher Bhavit Mehta, also co-organiser of the Festival, on Sunday 9 October at 12 noon for Indian Mythology: A Graphic Look, spanning from the much-loved Amar Chitra Katha series to the latest comics interpretations. You can get an all-day ticket for the Sunday for £12 or a weekend pass for only £20 and get your money back as book vouchers to spend there on the day.
Further ahead in this festival, I will be meeting again with Sarnath Banerjee to discuss his own graphic novels, including his latest, The Harappa Files. selected as one of the 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You DIe. This illustrated discussion entitled Slices of Indian Life is being held on Sunday 23 October at the Chelsea Theatre and costs £5 or £12 for the whole day’s events. Look forward to seeing some of you at one or both of these occasions.
