We're not monstrous, we've just got the munchies: The world of publishing ft. Claire Kohda and Kaiya Shang

But Where Are You From?

Amy talked with Claire Kohda (author of Woman, Eating) and Kaiya Shang (Editor at Scribner), about Claire's wonderful new book (read it!), food as an identity, racial othering and "the monstrous", the mixed ethnicity experience, plus the good bits and the bad bits (think rampant racism and nepotism) of the publishing world.
