My fourth guest for my South Asian author series is Sj Sindu.As a genderqueer Sri Lankan American novelist and riveting short story writer, SJ Sindu is one of the most exciting young voices out there today. Her first novel, Marriage of a Thousand Lies, won the Publishing Triangle Edmund White Award for debut fiction and was named an American Library Association, Stonewall Honor Book. SJ's upcoming book, The Goth House, is a collection of stories that focus on queer joy, as well as shocking cruelty. You know we love a good paradox. In today's episode, we talk about her upbringing in Sri Lanka, her memories of the Sri Lankan war, and how much that trauma is incorporated into her writing. And I obviously couldn't resist asking her if she loves MIA as much as I do. Find out how she navigated the many intersections of ‘other” she found herself within, the hilarious last-ditch effort she made to throw her Brown parents off her trail, and what she hopes to inspire in younger generations through her work.  We talked about:  How SJ came to know she was a writer (1:54)How SJ's search to find her voice and genre has shifted over time (6:30)SJ's genius solution to appeasing her parents and inspiring a fantastic read (8:12)The meaning and inspiration behind her novel Blue Skin Gods (11:48)SJ's new chapter book coming out in October: Goth House (18:34)SJ's relationship to Sri Lanka, its culture, and growing up there until age 7 (21:34)The first few explicit experiences of racism and discrimination that radicalized SJ (29:29)Telling queer stories and exploring the many possibilities within the marginalized experience (35:18)Dating as a queer South Asian (36:45)Life as an Assistant Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University (39:30)Rapid Fire Questions (42:09)SJ's bare bones for happiness (43:00)Connect with SJ:   Website InstagramMarriage of a Thousand Lies Blue-Skinned Gods Let's Connect:InstagramThis podcast is produced by Ginni Media

She started her pop up, Tuk Tuk Sri Lankan Bites, in 2016, after brunches in her home outgrew her dining room. Her pop-ups are one of the few representations of Sri Lankan cuisine in the United States and are a reflection of her first-generation upbringing in the American South. Her dishes include her spin on Southern classics as well as new riffs on her family's, and her work has been featured in multiple national publications, including the cover of Food & Wine magazine in 2018. In 2020, she was selected as one of Southern Living's Cooks of the Year and this year, Sam has been honored by the James Beard Foundation as a Semi-Finalist for Best Chef: Southeast.

Sam's been traveling and collaborating with chefs across the country. We talk pop-up logistics and collaborations. Sam details how she ended up with her own Spicewalla spice blend.

On October 16, 2009, he was arrested by the FBI for insider trading, which also caused the Galleon Group to fold. 1/4: Uneven Justice: The Plot to Sink Galleon, by Raj Rajaratnam  Hardcover – December 14, 2021 https://www.amazon.com/Uneven-Justice-Plot-Sink-Galleon/dp/1637582811/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Raj Rajaratnam, the respected founder of the iconic hedge fund Galleon Group, which managed $7 billion and employed 180 people in its heyday, chose to go to trial rather than concede to a false narrative concocted by ambitious prosecutors looking for a scapegoat for the 2008 financial crisis. Naively, perhaps, Rajaratnam had expected to get a fair hearing in court. As an immigrant who had achieved tremendous success in his adopted country, he trusted the system. He had not anticipated prosecutorial overreach—inspired by political ambition—FBI fabrications, judicial compliance, and lies told under oath by cooperating witnesses. In the end, Rajaratnam was convicted and sentenced to eleven years in prison. He served seven and a half.

When it comes to calling out cruddy behavior, chef Sam Fore has never been afraid to speak her mind. Growing up as a first-generation Sri Lankan American in North Carolina, she had a supportive community (and a mom who always warned her about how her mouth would get her in trouble—not that she listened) but outside of it, she began to question why the rules and standards were different for her than for her white peers. Fore's sense of justice and fearlessness has only strengthened over the years, and she joined Communal Table for a lively and frank discussion about growing up brown in the South, why it's important to question your preconceived notions, accidentally becoming a chef, and standing up for vulnerable people.

Razib tries to get at what makes Sri Lanka distinctive with a Sri Lankan American.

This week on the Maris Review, Maris talks to Ryan Chapman, the author of Riots I Have Known. The two discuss the influences on the book, writing from a transgressive voice and the fictive distance between the author and satire, the privatization of prisons, and exciting literary voices coming from Sri Lanka.  Ryan Chapman is a Sri Lankan American novelist originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has written online and in print for The New Yorker, GQ, Longreads, Guernica, Bookforum, BOMB, and The Believer, and received residency fellowships from The Millay Colony and Vermont Studio Center.

Nayomi Munaweera is the guest. Her new novel, What Lies Between Us, is available now from St. Martin's Press.  And here it should be mentioned that Nayomi's debut novel, Island of a Thousand Mirrors, was long-listed for the Man Asia Prize. The story of that book—its arduous, unconventional road to publication and eventual glory—should be heartening to anyone out there slaving away in obscurity. Nayomi was a lot of fun. She's originally from Sri Lanka but immigrated to the States as a child by way of Nigeria. Pretty sure she's the first Sri Lankan-American author to appear on this program. Happy to share this episode with you guys. In today's monologue, I field questions from Twitter followers.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
