The Seattle Asian Art Museum is pleased to kick off the Jaipur Literature Festival.
Join us for an evening with John Vaillant for a discussion of his recent work, including Fire Weather: On the Front Lines of a Burning World, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the US National Book Award, the winner of Britain's Baillie Gifford Prize and Canada's Shaughnessy-Cohen Prize, and was one of the New York Times’ ten best books of 2023. Vaillant's work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and National Geographic.
The festival continues from September 18 to 21 at Town Hall Seattle.
Experience the magic of literature and intellectual discourse with some of the world’s finest authors and thinkers. The second edition of JLF Seattle promises to extend the Jaipur Literature Festival’s characteristic flavor and style to the stunning city of Seattle. Hear from our partners as they welcome this wonderful celebration of literature and ideas.
