The Good Immigrant: 26 Writers Reflect on America by Nikesh Shukla
3.0
3.5 stars.
it's really difficult to rate such personal experiences with a 5-star-rating, so my rating is not so much for the content itself, rather the writing and narration of the essays (I listened to the audiobook version of this).
my favourites include:
- How to Write Iranian-America, or The Last Essay: Porochista Khakpour
- Sidra (in 12 Movements): Rahawa Haile
- On Loneliness: Fatimah Asghar
- Shithole Nation: Jim St. Germain
- The Naked Man: Chigozie Obioma
- Your Father's Country: Alexander Chee
- Skittles: Fatima Farheen Mirza
- 244 Million: Mona Chalabi
