Episode 90: Chaya Bhuvaneswar
b'
Chaya Bhuvaneswar is a physician and writer. I read Chaya\\u2019s short story collection White Dancing Elephants this spring and really enjoyed it, both because of the way it centered South Asian and women\\u2019s stories, and for the complex, complicated relationships at the heart of each story. In our conversation, Chaya and I talked about White Dancing Elephants; about Seamus Heaney, punishment, and complicity; and about whose stories get called \\u201cdark.\\u201d Then for the second segment, we talked about some of Chaya\\u2019s favorite poets, and why poetry is important to her.
(Conversation recorded May 25, 2019.)
