On this edition of the Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet Zalika Reid-Benta, an author who explores race, identity and culture through the lens of second-generation Caribbean Canadians in her work. The Columbia MFA graduate's debut novel “Frying Plantain,” a series of interconnected stories featuring a young Black female protagonist, was on the 2019 Scotiabank Giller Prize longlist. Her new book is River Mumma, is an exhilarating contemporary fantasy novel about a young Black woman who navigates her quarter-life-crisis while embarking on a mythical quest through the streets of Toronto.
