Delhi has seen books and awards on literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, Comic Con—in other words, pop culture celebrations in various forms. Unless you are a sports buff, few may have heard of The Ekamra Sports Literature Festival (ESLF), an annual jamboree in the city where sports meet stories, close to winter. The sixth season of ESLF, a day-long event, takes place today at the India Habitat Centre, 10:30 am onwards.
The festival will be interspersed with seven live and engrossing panel discussions focused on some best-selling sports books published this year, as well as contemporary pressing issues facing the world of sports.
The Ekamra Sports Book Awards, with as many as 21 titles, including 11 publishers, are vying for recognition in six different categories, and will conclude the festival, which is returning to Delhi after the second edition, which took place five years back in 2019.
