The Difference Between Being a Jew and an Israeli ep #137
About this episode
This episode explores identity and immigration through the lens of Michael Isaac Shokrian's experiences and literary contributions.
Michael Isaac Shokrian grew up an Iranian-Jewish kid in 1970s Los Angeles, learning America while searching for a place to belong. In this episode, we explore identity, immigration, and the outsider’s perspective through his novel American Playground, and why he went on to create The Thieving Magpie—a literary home for voices that rarely fit neatly anywhere.
