The Promise | Damon Galgut in conversation with Anish Gawande | Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Series Jaipur Literature Festival 2024

Presented by TV9

Novelist and playwright Damon Galgut’s The Promise is the sharp and meditative winner of the 2021 Booker Prize. It conveys the play of power in relationships - with self, society, state - against the backdrop of post-apartheid South Africa. A white family, nettled by changing society, wrangles over a farm and a delayed promise. As South Africa churns with a violent past, turbulent politics, and the rumbles of change, Galgut weaves together the stories and struggles of relationships from both. Galgut’s other works include A Sinless Season, The Good Doctor, and Arctic Summer. In conversation with writer Anish Gawande.

Damon Galgut is the winner of the 2022 Booker Prize for his novel The Promise. He has twice been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and is a past winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize. His novel, Arctic Summer, was awarded the 2015 South African Sunday Times Fiction Prize, and two films were made of his book The Quarry. He lives and works in Cape Town.

Anish Gawande is a writer and curator. He is the founder of Pink List India, the country’s first archive of politicians supporting LGBTQ+ rights. Gawande has an undergraduate degree in comparative literature from Columbia University and postgraduate degrees in intellectual history and public policy from the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar.
