    Jul 23 2024

    For this episode, Red is joined by Canadian author Erum Shazia Hasan, whose compelling debut novel, "We Meant Well," explores the complex moral and emotional landscape of international aid work.

    Set in an unnamed post-colonial failed state, the book grapples with timely questions about what it means to be charitable, who deserves what, and who gets the power to decide.

    With her background as a Sustainable Development Consultant for various UN agencies, it’s a world that Erum is well qualified to discuss. Join Red and Erum as they explore the contradictions and consequences of Western intervention in the developing world.

    PAGING ALL BOOK LOVERS! Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Széll for the latest episode of AMI-audio’s My Life in Books. Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write. Tyler LeBlanc was working as a bicycle tour guide when a chance encounter led him to look into the history of his name. Growing up on the south shore of Nova Scotia, he’d been unaware of his Acadian roots. But the discovery that he could trace his family all the way back to the Acadian Expulsions parked a curiosity that has transformed the way he views identity, family and the place he calls home. Painstakingly researched, his book, Acadian Driftwood, pieces together the lives of his ancestors after they were shattered by their enforced removal from their homeland by the British in 1755. Join Tyler and Red as they explore the history behind and legacy of Le Grand Dérangement.

    Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Széll for the latest episode of AMI-audio's My Life in Books. Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write. A week-long retreat on a beautiful country estate with no phones and no wi-fi might sound like the perfect getaway, but not in Rebecca Thorne's book. The Grief House is a spine-chilling mystery that blends psychological suspense with supernatural terror. Cut off from the outside world, a small group of guests and the couple who run the retreat find themselves battling not only their own demons but rising flood waters and a sense of menace that threatens to engulf them. As the reader is led deeper into the recesses of each character's mind, we too discover that "There is nothing like the cold that freezes from within." Join Rebecca and Red as they discuss the psychology of fear and the realm of spiritualism in the lives and literature of those who dare to explore them. My Life in Books airs Mondays at 1 p.m. Eastern on AMI-audio, or download the podcast from your favourite podcast provider.
