ⓘ About Janika Oza
Janika Oza is a bestselling author based in Toronto who won the Kenyon Review Short Fiction Contest in 2020 and the O. Henry Prize for Short Fiction in 2022. Growing up, she used to listen to all manner of joyful stories of how bats used to eclipse the sky and the picnics the family used to take. There were also stories of violence and pain from soldiers and the unrest during one of Uganda’s most difficult times. One story that stuck in her mind was the August 1972 expulsion of the entire population of South Asians from Uganda by President Idi Amin in just 90 days. Since she was so interested in the history of her family and particularly the 1972 expulsion, she began researching and trying to piece things together.
