Sounds like a fantastic read! I can’t wait to read it and any author with ferocious red lipstick is an author after my own heart.

Great interview Lance, as always. Hope you [and Susan and everyone else at Lit Park] had a great holiday!

I’m late to comment here. Thanksgiving cut into my LitPark time, but better late than never.

Thank you for introducing Porochista to us, Lance.

And Porochista, I enjoyed your interview. I find the whole concept of cultural bias an odd one and hard to relate to. It probably comes from living in SoCA, where there are people from everywhere who are all from here too. I’m glad you’re adding some perspective from your particular vantage point and exploring how we define ourselves in an increasingly multicultural world.

Thanks for this.
I’m recommending Sons to my multi-culti book group.

Ummm, my picture is of me at 8 or 9 dressing up like Madonna. Actually I wasn’t even playing dress up. I just tried to dress like that. Anyway, I’ll need to hire someone too…someone that looks deep and thoughtful. That’s why I chose the Madonna picture. It’s my best look.

What a great interview Lance! I really enjoyed it and I’ll be certain to check out Porochista’s book.

Totally off topic but I have to say that every single person associated with LitPark – from the talented & beloved leader SH, to the interviewees like Porochista, to the guest Interviewers like Lance, right down to every person commenting – you guys all LOOK like authors.

Man, I’m depressed. If I ever write a book I’m going to have to hire a head shot double for the dust jacket.

I loved this interview. All the images were perfect. I’ve got some coked up muses too! I have a friend from college who was born in Iraq, came to the US before she could remember to escape the government and then felt somewhat like she did not belong anywhere. It sounds like the book is something she would relate to. I am so in love with the images from the interview that I cannot wait to read the book. The writing, I am sure, is amazing.
