Atrocious. Worst book I’ve read this year. Entire book was just a dull account of the author’s day to day life. Just when something would get interesting, he’d switch and go back to talking about his commute to work (with each train line documented in great detail). Either that or just him bitching and moaning. Author has extreme levels of privilege, yet cosplays as some broke immigrant trying to make it in New York (forget the fact that his father owns countless properties in Nepal). I will, however, give the book credit for its exploration into the divide LGBT immigrants face between their culture and sexuality. This book could have been great, but the writing style, lack of plot, and unnecessary detail killed it completely.
