Sliver of Hope

Available for over a year

When an American doctor in west Africa encounters a nine-year-old boy with Ebola, he doesn’t give up hope that the child can be treated - but the odds are not in his favour. And, an Indian immigrant to the US laments the difficulty of finding a Hindi book in India. We find out why a Chinese game called Nine-Man is taking off in America. Also, we learn why the liquor baijiu has yet to catch on with American drinkers. We hear how a Russian writer got a street named after him in New York. And, we meet a classical music composer whose latest chart-topping album is inspired by climate change. (Photo: Dr William Fischer wearing protective medical gear, courtesy of Dr. William Fischer)
