A Conversation with Radha Vatsal
Episode #43:
A Conversation with Radha Vatsal (July 31, 2025). Radha’s talk about her
novel “No. 10 Doyers Street” impressed many readers at iScream for
Mysteries, so we brought her on the show to talk about what New York’s
Chinatown community was like in the early 1900s, the character of
Chinese gangster Mock Duck, what newspaper reporting was like in that
time, and the presence of Indian women in America.
