The Elephants in My Backyard: A Memoir by Rajiv Surendra

5.0

A moving, funny memoir written by Rajiv Surendra, the actor who played the rapping mathlete Kevin G. in Mean Girls and now works as an accomplished visual artist. This book is a bit about showbiz, but more than that, it's about obsession and passion, about following a dream so long that the journey becomes more important than the destination. Part travelogue, part obsessive quest, part coming-of-age story, this insightful memoir is about finding your roots and learning who you are, while shutting up the voices in your head who say you can't do it.
