Janaki Lenin

Book: Snakes, Drugs and Rock n Roll

Guest Of Honours

Janaki Lenin is a columnist, filmmaker, and author whose work brings together wildlife, storytelling, and lived adventure. Her latest book, Snakes, Drugs and Rock & Roll, co-authored with her husband Romulus Whitaker, chronicles his wildly entertaining and unconventional early years.
She is also the author of Every Creature Has a Story, the two-volume series My Husband and Other Animals, and A King Cobra’s Summer — books that weave observation, science, humour, and deep affection for the natural world. Through her writing and films, Janaki illuminates the intimate, often surprising relationships between humans, animals, and the ecosystems they share.
