A pretty easy and quick read! A nice delve into humanity, and how culture, nationality, and ethnicity affects everyday life.

some of the stories i didn’t care all too much for but some of them i loved and they made me a bit emotional! those were sexy, mrs sen’s and the third and final continent (this last one especially got me).

i think lahiri is really great at 1. roasting white people by writing about how she thinks they see brown people and 2. writing about unexpected connections between people, and how important they are
