Was Richard Parker real? What will happen to House Martel on Game of Thrones? What is the place of religion in modern secular societies? What books should politicians read? Legendary author Yann Martel answered all these questions and even told us what is he working on next when we met him at Jaipur Literature Festival earlier this year

Books discussed:

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

The High Mountains of Portugal by Yann Martel

The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy

The Bhagwat Gita

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Garbiel Garxia Marquez

Kudos to the sound engineer who managed to salvage whatever little audio from the other mic because the wireless one clearly stopped working midway

I would have asked him about the island that the kid sees in the movie towards the end. For me it looked to be inspired from Lord Ranganathar in Anantha sayanam pose in Paar kadal.

Now that he says he travelled to South Indian temples before writing the book, I am 100 % sure, thats the reference.

When Yann Martel said Salman Rushdie is a great indian author
Anuya' expressions: Aaammm..I don't think so!
Sharin's expressions:
See anuya, even the Booker winning writer admits this!

Good interview marred by shoddy sound quality.
