Sigh, Gone: A Misfit's Memoir of Great Books, Punk Rock, and the Fight to Fit In by Phuc Tran

4.0

Such a well-written memoir of a Vietnamese-American childhood in rural Pennsylvania. Favorite sections for me were Phuc's birth into a punk identity in high school as well as anywhere in the book when the author makes connections between his life and the excellent literature that he is avidly consuming. This book also has a lot of very thoughtful passages about racism, both as it was experienced by Phuc and his family as well as their internalized beliefs. The audiobook, read by the author, is highly recommended.
