In One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter, Scaachi deploys her razor-sharp humour to share her fears, outrages, and mortifying experiences as an outsider growing up in Canada. Her subjects range from shaving her knuckles in grade school, to a shopping trip gone horribly awry, to dealing with Internet trolls, to feeling out of place at an Indian wedding (as an Indian woman), to parsing the trajectory of fears and anxieties that pressed upon her immigrant parents and bled down a generation.

Great story of an Indian-origin Canadian young woman
Évalué le: 2023-06-10
Scaachi uses a great sense of humour to discuss serious themes such as the conditions of girls and women versus men’s, the difficulty of reconciling Indian traditions and today’s Western ways of life, brown color children and adults suffering from racism, women’s vulnerability and biased perceptions of women rapes, struggling family relationships, etc.
I love the tone of the narration filled with energy, emotions and humour.
I appreciate that the book is read by the author
Scaachi as it gives a deeper and more authentic meaning to the essay.
I hope my 17th and 20th year old daughters will read and enjoy this book as much as I did.
