Mikhail Iossel

Mikhail Iossel talks with Pamela about growing up in the former Soviet Union, becoming an underground writer in a KGB-monitored group, and the lasting damage of the Trump presidency on the reputation of America. Mikhail was born in Leningrad in the ‘50s. The son of a prominent scientist, his application for leaving his country was refused and his education all but wasted when he quit his engineering job to become a security guard at an amusement park. At the age of 30, he finally made it to the US just before the collapse of the Communist Bloc. Despite his rudimentary English, he was accepted to study Creative Writing at the University of New Hampshire and before long, his short stories were published in literary journals and he assembled his first collection, Every Hunter Wants to Know. Today he is a professor at Concordia University and a contributor to magazines like the New Yorker. He is also a founder and Creative Director of the Summer Literary Seminars international program where friends such as George Saunders and Francine Prose have acted as faculty. Listen to here to our lively and fascinating conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kim Thúy

Kim Thúy talks to Pamela about her grandmother’s invention of condos, how fear paralyzes the mind and body, and the eternal gratitude she feels for her parents - and people of Granby, Quebec. Until the age of ten, Kim lived a relatively privileged life in Saigon. But when the war in Vietnam ended, the Communists took over and her family decided there was no alternative but to flee. They boarded a wooden boat and made it to Malaysia where they lived in a refugee camp before moving to Quebec. Kim went on to study linguistics and law, opened a restaurant, and became one of Canada’s most beloved authors. Her debut novel, Ru, won many prizes and awards including the Governor General’s Award for Fiction and Canada Reads, and was adapted to a film that premiered this September at TIFF. Ru was followed by three more novels, Man, Vi, and Em, as well as a children’s picture book, a cookbook, and contributions to non-fiction. Hear Kim’s incredible story in this sweeping conversation that spans the years from her life in Vietnam up to the present day. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Baharan Baniahmadi

Baharan Baniahmadi talks to Pamela about growing up in Tehran, navigating a duplicitous life, and how her mother’s last words were a plea for her to leave the country. Just four years after moving to Quebec, Baharan published Prophetess and won the 2022 QWF Paragraphe Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction. In lyrical prose, she captures the story of a young girl who witnesses a terrible crime against her sister. The girl goes into shock, becomes mute, and develops strange physical reactions to men as she begins to recognize - then later act on - the oppression in this world. Listen to find out more about Baharan’s journey and why she is writing her next book in French. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean Michaels

Sean Michaels talks with Pamela about starting the mp3 blog Said the Gramophone, why writing fiction is not a mercenary job, and how winning the Scotiabank Giller Prize changed his life. Sean emigrated from Scotland at the age of five, grew up in Ottawa, and moved to Montreal to study at McGill University. While still a student, he created Said the Gramophone, an mp3 music blog that would later be rated by Time Magazine as one of the top 25 blogs in the world. After spending years on a novel that was never published, he wrote Us Conductors and in 2014 won the biggest literary prize in Canada. He claimed it was lucky and went on to write a novel about luck, The Wagers, while writing columns for the Guardian and The Globe and Mail and the occasional article for Rolling Stone. Find out more in our conversation and learn about his latest novel, Do You Remember Being Born?, in which a poet collaborates with AI. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Homework | Mini-bios by Students

This week, I'm sharing a little extracurricular work. While in production on Story Girl, I was also teaching a podcasting course at Ratihén:te High School. In this class, the students researched, wrote and hosted their own historical biographies. This episode features two stories from the world sports, two world-class snipers, a fashion designer, and rock royalty. The work featured here was produced by the students of Ratihén:te High School as part of Writers in the Community, a program run by the Quebec Writers’ Federation. The Writers in the Community program would not be possible without the support of: The Canada Council for the Arts The Government of Canada Le Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) The Electronic Recycling Association The Batshaw Foundation Shell Donors to the QWF Pyramid Campaign Eric T. Webster Foundation George Hogg Family Foundation Fondation Charles Cusson Hylcan Foundation The Hay Foundation Zeller Family Foundation *This program and all relevant content is for educational purposes only and to the best of our knowledge is being used under Fair Dealing/Fair Use Act guidelines and within Canadian and United States standards of fair dealing/fair use* Hosted on Acast.
