Reading is often looked at as a solitary exercise. How do you let someone in on the fictional world that exists in your head - a place you have made your self home at, at your own accord? But what if there more people that think like you, more worlds that exist and you'd get a chance to see how similar settings chart out anew in different heads? In times where (virtual) book clubs are making a comeback, how do existing literary communities catch up with the ever-evolving world of literature? In this episode of Lit Nama, Laxmi is in conversation with Pravin Subramanian, Founder of SwapBook! tracing how literary communities are formed and sustained over the years in different capacities.
