For the love of books

Despite the diminishing interest in books in our society, it is heartening to see that literature and a culture of reading still hold a high place in today’s Pakistan. Each year, we are fortunate to have the Karachi Literature Festival (KLF) which focuses on promoting books in society.The event features panel discussions focusing on a range of subjects, English and Urdu mushaira, and a book fair, among other things. Being a literature enthusiast, I am really excited for this year’s KLF as it is going to be the ten year celebration of the festival.Nuzair A ViraniKarachi
