Episode 7: Licia Canton & Kenneth Radu

Inside the Frozen Mammoth

Two writers find overlap in their very different experiences—of migration, language, and of writing in the wake of a traumatic experience. Listen in on a fascinating conversation that travels from childhood to aging to money and its attendant problems, and ends up somewhere neither writer expected to be. A two-time winner of the Quebec Writers' Federation award for best English-language fiction, Kenneth Radu has recently completed a new collection of stories scheduled for publication by DC Books in early 2018. Licia Canton is the author of the collection Almond Wine and Fertility (Longbridge Books), stories set in Montreal. She is also a literary translator and founding editor-in-chief of Accenti Magazine.
