Photo: Pradeep Gaur/MintIf I were the organizer of a competing literature festival, I would have by now hired a content agency or a brilliant college dropout to host my equivalent of @JLFInsider—the anonymous Twitter handle that had everyone in and outside the Jaipur Literature Festival in its thrall over the last week. With our combined experience of attending literature festivals of all kinds over the years, we put together a guide for you. Most writers like to believe that everyone has read everything they have ever written, including blog posts from the 1990s. You might not be insincere —you might have read a majority of their published books—but that specific disclaimer is unnecessary. A standout Jaipur anecdote for me is from the Penguin Random House party at Taj Rambagh Palace in 2014.
