http://www.blogtalkradio.com/masoodrajaThis show focuses on the cross-cultural aspects of literature, literary studies, and the relationship of literature to our lived experience. Each show will feature a particular book, an author, a philosophical concept, or a literary movement, with an emphasis on our role as readers and consumers of texts and our responsibilities as human subjects who share the limited resources of this planet. As I claim a certain degree of expertise on the issues of the Muslim world (South Asia: Pakistan and Afghanistan), I will also sometimes include occasional commentaries related to the politics, culture, and history of these cultures.enBlogTalkRadio.com.
