Poured Over Double Shot: K-Ming Chang and Anbara Salam

Organ Meats by K-Ming Chang connects lyrical, dreamy prose and visceral reality in the story of two girls who navigate their complicated friendship in a world they build with feral dogs and otherworldly connection. Chang joins us to talk about writing in a nonlinear way, creating personal and cultural mythologies and finding connection through literature. Anbara Salam's Hazardous Spirits explores the mystical, opulent and sometimes dangerous world of Spiritualism in 1920s Scotland. Salam joins us to talk about writing the time period after a crisis and its connection to today, the specificity of her research and creating stories that may not wrap up neatly.  Listen in as these authors speak separately with guest host, Jenna Seery.  This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Jenna Seery and mixed by Harry Liang.          Follow us here for new episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional Saturdays).     Featured Books (Episode): Organ Meats by K-Ming Chang  Hazardous Spirits by Anbara Salam  Bestiary by K-Ming Chang  Gods of Want by K-Ming Chang  Belladonna by Anbara Salam  Affinity by Sarah Waters  Blithe Spirit by Noël Coward  The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters
