Phillips reflects upon the struggle of Indigenous Kamchatkans to retain language and traditional way of life. We examine the common thread of colonialism which has impacted Indigenous cultures in both Russia and the United States. We talk about the “second shift” women endure across cultural and national identities. In this third episode, we deepen discussions of society’s behavioral expectations for women, including some surprising differences and similarities across cultures. In episode 2, we discussed how identity frames point of view, and then explored her observations and reflections regarding food harvesting, education, religion, and transportation, during the time she spent in rural Kamchatka. In Episode 1, Phillips discussed the structure of the book, her literary influences, and the issue of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls, which is woven into the novel in a way that raises awareness of media’s complicity in this problem. Set in the remote Kamchatka peninsula of Russia, this book is classified alternately as women’s fiction, suspense & thriller, and literary fiction. As of this recording, it has been longlisted for the National Book Award, and the Center for Fiction, First Novel Prize.
