Season 3 Episode 2: In Conversation with Sutanya Dacres
Sutanya Dacres is a Jamaican-born, Bronx-raised, American in Paris, living in the city’s best arrondissement (the 18th).
Creator and host of the Dinner for One podcast, Sutanya had me round to her gorgeous apartment and cooked me a delicious meal (starter, main, and dessert), which we washed down with a bottle of Côte du Rhône.
I had a cheeky look at Sutanya’s bookshelves (verdict = they’re perfect) before we sat down to chat about juggling cultures, the true Paris expat experience, and some of Sutanya’s favourite books.
Here’s what we talk about during the episode:
- Intimations (Zadie Smith)
- How To Love A Jamaican (Alexia Arthurs)
- Americanah (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)
- Call Your GF chat with Zadie Smith
- WNYC interview with Alexia Arthurs
- Notes on Grief by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
- Thirst Aid Kit Podcast with Bim Adewunmi and Nichole Perkins
