    SLF Portolan Project Interview with Nalo Hopkinson, Andrea Hairston, and Sheree Renée Thomas Los Angeles, California, 2019 Mary Anne Mohanraj: Hi everybody, this is Mary Anne Mohanraj, and I'm here at the World Fantasy Convention 2019 in Los Angeles. I'm here with Nalo Hopkinson, Andrea Hairston, and Sheree Renée Thomas, really delighted to be interviewing them for the SLF. So, I thought we would start with how I first got to know all of you and your work. I think the first one was Nalo Hopkinson. I met Nalo at WisCon, it would have been, I want to say around 1997-98, when WisCon was making a real effort to do outreach to people of color, and they had actually invited me to come, and I was a starving grad student at the time, and said I couldn't possibly fly from California all the way to Madison. And they had covered my expenses to attend the convention. And I got there, and there were five people of color, at the seven – Andrea Hairston: That was a good year. [laughter] ​ Mary Anne Mohanraj: Yeah, at the 700-something person convention. So they had an issue, which they were trying to address. And Nalo was one of them. Does that match up with your memory? And, I don't know, was that your first WisCon as well, or? Nalo Hopkinson: My first WisCon was right after Clarion, and I did Clarion in ‘95, so it was probably a few years before. Mary Anne Mohanraj: A little before, then. Nalo Hopkinson: I think I knew who you were before then.

  • SLF Portolan Project Interview with Minal Hajratwala Locus Awards, Seattle, June 2019
    SLF Portolan Project Interview with Minal Hajratwala Locus Awards, Seattle, June 2019 Mary Anne Mohanraj: Hey everybody, this is Mary Anne Mohanraj, prototyping a podcast that I'm hoping that Ben Rosenbaum and I will be able to do going forward. We don't really have a focus yet. We are thinking it could be somewhere in the culture and speculative fiction realm. It may be pretty wide ranging, because Ben and I often talk about politics and religion, and family; science, technology, cities; whatever strikes our fancy, and we get into good conversations. But Ben isn't with us today. Today, I'm in Seattle. I have come here for the Locus Award ceremony and conveniently was able to set up an interview with Minal Hajratwala (Did I say that right? I did, okay) – who is here as a Clarion student, which really startled me because I know her as a very accomplished writer. She did this book Leaving India, which is a history of the Indian ​ ​ diaspora, but it's also a memoir about her family that ended up in six different countries? Yes? Minal Hajratwala: Nine! Mary Anne Mohanraj: Nine different countries. I get this wrong every time! Nine different countries – Minal Hajratwala: It’s a lot of countries to keep track of. Mary Anne Mohanraj: It's a lot of countries. Nine different countries. But it's a book that I teach in my postcolonial lit class. But she's now made a turn to science fiction. And she's here, so – say hi! Minal Hajratwala: Hi! Mary Anne Mojanraj: Do you want to introduce yourself? Minal Hajratwala: Here we are, yes, I'm Minal Hajratwala, here we are in J’aime Les Crepe House in Seattle.

  • Bodies in Motion
    Reading Guide Bodies in Motion By Mary Anne Mohanraj ISBN: 9780060781194 Introduction Like the sweet heat of a curry prickling your tongue or the bursting radiance of bougainvillea, the short stories in Mary Anne Mohanraj's gorgeous debut collection, Bodies in Motion, will delight your senses and your sensibilities. Linked by the thread of kinship, these stories trace the lives of two generations of two families living on the cusp of disparate worlds: America and Sri Lanka. Through them we see just how the emigrant-immigrant ebb and flow shapes lives and the bonds of family. Mohanraj writes effervescent prose, distilling intimate moments to reveal the tug-of-war between generations and gender as modernization comes into conflict with centuries of tradition.
