“Birdie, why are you chasing ghosts?”
—-
‘Caucasia’ is a book about survival, who we are in a world that tells us otherwise, and why we run from ourselves. It’s about belonging, the lies we tell ourselves, and the fictions we make up for everyone else. 

For a book that plays with so many themes, ‘Caucasia’ never loses its way. It is a true masterpiece, with an astounding adolescent protagonist and a host of characters told with precision and compassionate honesty. 

If you’re looking for a book to help you understand America, this is it!
