Radio talk show hostess Naz Sohni Uppal
Naz Sohni Uppal is the Radio South
Asia Friday hostess of a show called Naz at
Night that runs from 10 p.m. to midnight on World FM 101.7.
 |
| South Asian woman |
Their website promises "only
the quirky and esoteric need apply" for anyone interested in an interview
with Naz.
She has asked to interview me, as the author of SpaceHive, a middle
grade/young adult novel that takes place partially in India.
SpaceHive features
Jason Anderson, the 12-year-old Canadian protagonist, with a South Asian Muslim
young man named Aadab Ali and his Hindu girlfriend Iodine. Aadab speaks Urdu
and some of that language is included in the novel.
It's a multicultural and
multinational story with a moral that the world is a "global village"
(thanks, Canadian philosopher/educator
Marshall McLuhan).
If indeed the interview takes place
as planned and is aired, I presume the listeners will be South Asian and other
cultures with a world view, and will generate interest in SpaceHive, especially
with my Indian and Pakistani readers, whom I have been trying to cultivate quite
unsuccessfully.
I look forward to meeting Naz Sohni
Uppal and chatting before the actual interview takes place.
I'll try to be "quirky and
esoteric."

Congratulations, Kenna! Sounds like that could be a fun, and beneficial, experience for you. Quirky is easy, how do you play esoteric?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Doug, yes, I'm looking forward to meeting Naz. I don't think I can play esoteric quite as well as quirky, hehe.
ReplyDeleteSounds exciting, Kenna!
