One day we'll all be dead and none of this will matter

One day we'll all be dead and none of this will matter:  essays by Scaachi Koul, 241 pgs.

A collection of essays by Scaachi Koul, a daughter of Indian immigrants to Canada.  These essays focus on being an outsider, looking for identity, and sometimes just mortifying experiences.  The story of a cousin's wedding gives you a taste of India. The story of having to get cut out of an outfit in a store after trying it on and not being able to get it off gives you a taste of being a woman.  Stories about her parents give you the idea of what its like to be a daughter of Indian immigrants, or actually a daughter of many other types of parents too.  The story of being roofied seems very current. Often funny, sometimes heartfelt and occasionally horrifying, Koul is an interesting read and suggested for fans of witty women.
