This week on Suite (212), Tom Overton talks to author Shiromi Pinto about her second novel, Plastic Emotions (https://www.influxpress.com/plastic-emotions), recently published by Influx Press, inspired by the life of 20th century Sri Lankan architect and feminist icon Minnette de Silva (1918-1998).

BONUS: Juliet Jacques on Montez Press Radio

Suite (212) is a radio programme, broadcast on Resonance 104.4fm, and podcast that explores the arts in their social, political, cultural and historical contexts, hosted by Juliet Jacques. We take an inter-disciplinary approach, with an emphasis on innovative, underground or avant-garde work. Sometimes, panels discuss cultural politics; sometimes, we focus on a new publication or exhibition, or a specific individual or group whose work we admire.
