The Body Papers: A Memoir by Grace Talusan
4.0
-i'm always so hyper-critical of fil-ams (for good reason, i think), but i actually enjoyed reading this memoir!
-reading about grace's experience as a young filipino immigrant gave me insight into what my life could have been had my family decided to go through with immigrating to canada
-i like how honest she is in telling her story. i feel strangely proud of her.
-this might sound weird, but i also really liked reading about a dysfunctional filipino family. it was the representation i needed!!! especially since only large, tight-knit, happy filipino families are shown in media. thank u grace for giving me this representation. her father and mine are almost identical.
