Pornistan

Aditya Gautam is an alumnus of the creative writing course at SACAC. He was determined to pen down a book post completion of the course. It was an uphill task, he admits! For two years, he researched and documented scores of interviews across India to put together a book called, “Pornistan” after two years of research. The book deals with the porn epidemic sweeping India and how one can cope with it. Aditya is on a mission to explore his inner and outer world. A regular at meditation retreats, past volunteer with a political party, Aditya has written for newspapers and has even tried his hand at documentaries. He lives in scenic Himachal and is now working on his second book. Aditya conducts workshops on ‘understanding sexuality’ and is working on a script for a TV series. “Taking on challenges helps me face my fears,” he says
