Mumbai's very own literature festival, Literature Live! The Mumbai LitFest will return for its 17th edition in October, a little less than a year after its previous edition. This year, it will be held from October 23 to 25 at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA).

Over 16 editions, the city-based literature festival, which is among the country's most prestigious literary gatherings, has celebrated the written word in many different ways with a thriving space for meaningful dialogues between writers, thinkers, performers and audiences of varying ages, interests and dispositions.
