A review by mintomillk
Brother by David Chariandy

4.0

powerful, poignant, painful, and relevant at this point in time. Chariandy exhibits a clear understanding of the immigrant experience and the consequences of Othering, writing about a side of contemporary Canada that many do not want to admit exists. through the pain, though, Chariandy also leaves moments in his book for tenderness and male connection, something that is dangerously lacking among many today due to experiences of isolation and oppression. a book that stays with you and lingers.
