Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iida Turpeinen, "Beasts of the Sea" (Little, Brown, 2025)
Q: How do you feel about Natural History Museums? Why is this one of the anchors at the beginning and end of the story?
Natural History Museums balance fascination and horror; they showcase nature beautifully yet can also be seen as mausoleums of a complicated human relationship with the natural world, which is why they frame my narrative.
Iida Turpeinen, "Beasts of the Sea" (Little, Brown, 2025)
Q: Tell us about Stellar, the historical figure, and then about your attempt to understand his nuances and contradictions in Beasts of the Sea.
Steller was an early naturalist with independent thinking, demonstrating compassion for animals despite the prevailing belief in human dominance over nature, and his diaries reveal complexities that I sought to evoke in the narrative.
Iida Turpeinen, "Beasts of the Sea" (Little, Brown, 2025)
Q: Can you tell us how the Sea Cow came to be so important to you, and how its story of great thriving and then extinction became the heart of this novel?
I encountered the sea cow by chance during my PhD journey, sparking a fascination with its story and how human interactions led to its extinction which became central to my novel.
Sunny Dhillon, "Hide and Sikh: Letters from a Life in Brown Skin" (Wolsak and Wynn, 2025)
Q: How much did you think about your audience while writing?
Dhillon primarily thought about his daughter being the audience, wanting her to understand his experiences and thoughts.
Sunny Dhillon, "Hide and Sikh: Letters from a Life in Brown Skin" (Wolsak and Wynn, 2025)
Q: Where did this book start for you?
The book began with the desire to speak to his daughter and share his experiences growing up in brown skin, particularly starting with a significant incident of racism at a playground.
