Episode 90: Chaya Bhuvaneswar
Chaya Bhuvaneswar is a physician and writer. I read Chaya’s short story collection White Dancing Elephants this spring and really enjoyed it, both because of the way it centered South Asian and women’s stories, and for the complex, complicated relationships at the heart of each story.

(Conversation recorded May 25, 2019.)
