Alien Nation: A Celebration of Immigration from the Stage to the Page by Sofija Stefanovic

challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

Oh my gosh, I needed this book! I appreciate the effort that went into “translating” spoken word performances onto paper. I discovered several artists whose stories I clicked with. (I’ve since read Abeer Y. Hoque’s Olive Witch, a memoir I would not have known about if not for Alien Nation.) 

It feels like there is something in this collection of stories for anyone who enjoys spoken word performances, comedy, and learning about someone else’s perspective. (The latter is something I value.)

I highly recommend this collection to readers, especially fans of “Own Voices” nonfiction, seeking new authors to read.
