À propos de ce contenu audio

Would you break the law for a taste of home?

In this episode, we explore dystopian food culture, sibling bonds, and the power of culinary memory through Rinkoo Ramchandani’s Pushcart Prize-nominated short story A Fistful of Feet. Set in a near-future New York where meat is illegal, the tale follows rule-following accountant Jane Chan as she risks prison to dine at an underground "eateasy" – and reconnect with her estranged brother.

In the "Deep Dive" interview section of the show, Julia and Rinkoo discuss the author's inspiration behind this speculative story, family dynamics when confronted with opposing values, comfort foods, and Hong Kong's literary communities.

Our "Local Linguo" section focusses on the Cantonese phrase 同枱食飯,各自修行 - "Eating at the same table, but walking separate paths".

About the Author: Rinkoo Ramchandani is an executive coach, creative writer, and committee member of Hong Kong Women in Publishing Society.

About the Host: Julia Besnard is a librarian and creative writer based in Hong Kong. Learn more about the podcast here.
