One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter: Essays by Scaachi Koul

4.0

This was a really readable collection of essays by Scaachi Koul, a writer for Buzzfeed. She covers a number of topics - growing up Indian in Canada, visiting India for a family wedding, getting annoyed about double-standards in both Western and Indian culture, the privilege of being light-skinned vs not light-skinned and how it changes between Canada and India, the social politics/pressure of female hair removal (or not), rape culture, and her relationship with her parents. I laughed a bit, cried a bit, agreed a bit, and got real mad for a bit.
