By SusanUnPC on February 9, 2009 at 8:49 PM in NQR Live Chat, No Quarter Blog, NoQuarter Radio
You know that Paula Abeles (pronounced Abels) is our dynamic new host on our Monday night No Quarter Radio show, Sins of Omission on Monday nights, from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m., our weekly call-in show about politics, social causes, world news, and sexism.
At the end of this post, you’ll find a list of her past guests as well as links to Paulie’s first shows. (Paula also goes by Paulie interchangeably, she told me, and without preference.)
Dr. Lynette Long, the original host of “Sins of Omission,” has taken an extended sabbatical while she works on getting healthier and gets much-needed rest.
Paulie is especially interested in receiving your telephone calls. So, call (347) 677-0792 and ask Paulie a question or share your comments.
Please join us tonight for our guest, famed author Himilce Novas
As a human rights activist, Novas was a founding member of the National Organization for Women (NOW). She continues to work on behalf of women and those in the GBLT community.
Novas was featured in the book, Feminists Who Changed America, 1963-1975
(2006). She is a member of Veteran Feminists of America.
Himilce Novas is the author of numerous works of fiction and non-fiction. Her fiction includes Mangos, Bananas and Coconuts: A Cuban Love Story
(Arte Público Press, 1996; Riverhead / Penguin, 1997 paperback), and Princess Papaya (Arte Público Press, 2005).
Among her works of non-fiction are the popular 
Everything You Need to Know About Latino History: 2008 Edition
She has also written Everything You Need to Know about Asian American History (Plume / Penguin, 1996; 2003 ); The Hispanic 100: A Ranking of the Latino Men and Women Who Have Most Influenced American Thought and Culture (Citadel Press, 1995); and Remembering Selena: A Tribute in Pictures and Words / Recordando a Selena: Un tributo en palabras y fotos (St. Martin’s Press, 1995).
Novas has been a fiction editor of the MultiCultural Review for the past year and mostly reviews Latino and GLTB themed books. Novas has taught literature and writing as visiting author at various colleges and universities, among them the University of California at Santa Barbara, Wellesley College, Clark University and Tulane University, and continues to speak on Latino history and culture at colleges across the country. She spans both coasts and currently resides in the West.
The diversity of Himilce Novas’ accomplishments in the fields of Arts & Letters testify to the versatility and brilliance of her intellect. Born in Cuba to a Family of prominent intellectuals, she showed early signs of a promising writer when, still in high school, several of her poems were published by Nobel Prize laureate Camilo Jose Cela in his literary journal.
In her early teens, Novas moved to New York City, where several years later she translated her mastery of the word into a journalistic career as a newspaper and magazine editor/writer for such publications as Time/Life Books (Ancient China; Early Islam) The New York Times (articles and Sunday Supplements), Connoisseur (cover stories, articles) The C.S. Monitor (articles; special supplements) and L’Officiel/USA (editor-in-chief).
She quickly rose through the ranks of publishing. At the same time, she continued writing poems and other plays (some of which she acted in and directed). Among others, her play, Free This Day: A Trial In Seven Exhibits, was published by Joseph Papp in Scripts, a publication of The New York Shakespeare Theater and produced there and in avant garde theaters around the US and abroad, including Beijing, Tokyo, Rome, Madrid, Paris and Mexico City.”
Last week, Paulie hosted David Alinsky, the accomplished and fascinating son of renowned community organizer Saul Alinsky, who served as a role model for Barack Obama’s early community service work and influenced the operations of his presidential campaign.
Two weeks ago, Paulie hosted the famous, highly respected, educator and speaker, the Reverend Marcia Dyson. Rev. Dyson was a very active campaigner for Secretary Hillary Clinton during her presidential run.
If you missed Paula’s debut two weeks ago, you’ll definitely want to listen to the archived show, either at BlogTalkRadio.com or via iTunes (see our iTunes download and easy No Quarter Radio subscription directions in the farthest column to your right).
These were Paula’s two guests for the first part of her Monday night show on January 19, 2009:
