"Witty, thoughtful reading . . . . As she explores issues of race, culture, and gender, Dasgupta's lively, intelligent book celebrates the "honor and dignity" of embracing the discomforts of the transnational life, which offers the unexpected rewards and delights of the unfamiliar."—Kirkus Reviews “Perceptive and personal . . . . Dasgupta has a talent for finding the profound in the everyday.”—Publishers Weekly “Dasgupta encounters and offers up for consideration issues such as privilege, racism, the intellectual and emotional facets of multilingualism, the exoticising of another culture (hers, for instance), and guns in America.”—Cha: An Asian Literary Journal
