In this episode, Dr. Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai — award-winning author of The Mountains Sing, Dust Child, and The Secret of Hoa Sen — shares how her journey across poetry, fiction, and nonfiction grew out of a deep need to tell the stories Vietnam carries within its history. She discusses the challenges of writing about sensitive subjects, from war trauma to the rarely-told Amerasian experience, and how careful research and compassion guide her storytelling.

Quế Mai reflects on the power of translation in reaching global audiences, the way her roles as writer, educator, and advocate reinforce one another, and how literature can support healing and reconciliation across cultures. Speaking at the Sharjah International Book Fair, she offers her message to readers from the Arab world and beyond, along with practical advice for emerging writers from underrepresented communities. She also shares insight into the new territories she is excited to explore in her upcoming work.

Dr. Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai: Storytelling, Healing, and the Voices of Vietnam

In this episode, bestselling thriller author Chris Pavone — known for The Expats, The Paris Diversion, and Two Nights in Lisbon — reflects on his transition from a publishing career to becoming a full-time novelist. He shares how his life abroad shaped his early storytelling, why he’s drawn to characters navigating uncertainty, and the techniques he uses to build tension, craft twists, and turn cities like Lisbon and Paris into living characters on the page.

Pavone explains how he researches international thrillers, how he balances fact and invention, and what makes a twist not just clever but deeply satisfying. He also discusses the challenges of returning to the same characters for a sequel and what he hopes global readers — including those at the Sharjah International Book Fair — take away from his work beyond suspense alone.
