Shownotes

On this episode, we discuss our April 2021 book club pick, How to Pronounce Knife by Souvankham Thammavongsa, a collection of short stories centering on the perspectives of the Laos diaspora. Souvankham's stories offer us a glimpse into a community whose stories often get forgotten in the greater conversation of Asian representation.
