Listen "Episode 9: Nishant Batsha, Lapsed Historian, Debut Novelist"
Episode Synopsis
For the ninth episode of Drafting the Past, I interviewed historian and novelist Nishant Batsha about his debut novel, Mother Ocean Father Nation (Ecco/HarperCollins, 2022). We talked about the connections between his training as a historian and his work as a novelist, the bad habits he had to break from academia, and writing for character and story, whether in fiction or non-fiction.
