A review by giovannigf
Brown Album: Essays on Exile and Identity by Porochista Khakpour

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

Maybe it’s not fair of me to judge this collection of light, humorous essays harshly, but I felt misled by the Joan Didion riff of the title and the promise of something more substantial of the subtitle. I’m sure I would have enjoyed (and quickly forgotten) the pieces if I had run into them individually, but they grew tiresome very quickly as a group.
