The Epiphany 10: An Interview with Pingmei Lan

An Interview with Jennifer Baker on Curation and Cultivating Hope
The anthology Everyday People: The Color of Life brings together complex and confident stories from an impressive list of authors.
An Interview with Jamel Brinkley, author of A Lucky Man
We sat down together in Los Angeles and, in the course of our conversation, touched on the nefarious confluence of constrictive cultural norms and an oppressive state, coming-of-age as a perpetual process, and seeing past simplistic understandings of luck.
An Interview with R.O. Kwon on Fanatics and Debut Novels
Kwon’s book delicately explores the kind of longing that draws one person into a cult, while another can walk away. There are no excuses given here, no clichéd attempts at forgiveness, just an empathetic examination of how violence and religious fanaticism can be so attractive to those looking for redemption.
An Interview with Ornela Vorpsi on Eroticism, Sexual Abuse and Harassment, and Selfhood
Ornela Vorpsi’s The Country Where No One Ever Dies (Dalkey Archive 2009) belongs among the very best post-communist novels.
An Interview with Naivo, Author of the First Malagasy Novel Translated into English
Naivo explores the conflict between traditional Malagasy culture and mounting European influence in the very form of his novel, which was inspired by the hainteny oral poetry tradition.
