Interviews Sonia Patel writes out of her experience as a first-generation Indian-American born in New York and raised in Hawaii, an experience lushly and brilliantly explored in her debut novel, Rani Patel in Full Effect. Rani was a finalist for the Morris Award, received four-starred reviews from trade magazines, and was listed on YALSA’s Best Fiction for Young Adults and Kirkus Reviews’ Best Teen Books of 2016. Her YA novels Jaya and Rasa: A Love Story and Bloody Seoul both received the In the Margins Book Award. As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, Patel trained at Stanford University and the University of Hawaii, and has spent over fifteen years providing individual and family psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and their families. She lives in Honolulu with her husband, two teens, and dog. In addition to serving as a juror for the 2021 NSK Neustadt Prize for Children’s Literature, Patel will participate in the Readings and Book Giveaways by the 2021 NSK Prize Jury event. Q: What was your first favorite book, the book that made you a reader? A: It was actually a series—the original Nancy Drew mystery stories, starting with The Secret of the Old Clock. I had at least fifty of them from a used bookstore, and as soon as I finished one I was on to the next! Q: What is the best book-receiving experience you’ve had? A: In 2007 my mother-in-law and father-in-law gave me Mary Pipher’s Writing to Change the World. Inside,... Continue reading at 'World Literature Today'
