For readers of Mindy Kaling, Jenny Lawson and Roxane Gay, a debut collection of fierce and funny essays about growing up the daughter of Indian immigrants in Canada, "a land of ice and casual racism," by the irreverent, hilarious cultural observer and incomparable rising star, Scaachi Koul.

In One Day We’ll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter, Scaachi deploys her razor-sharp humour to share her fears, outrages and mortifying experiences as an outsider growing up in Canada. Her subjects range from shaving her knuckles in grade school, to a shopping trip gone horribly awry, to dealing with internet trolls, to feeling out of place at an Indian wedding (as an Indian woman), to parsing the trajectory of fears and anxieties that pressed upon her immigrant parents and bled down a generation. Alongside these personal stories are pointed observations about life as a woman of colour, where every aspect of her appearance is open for critique, derision or outright scorn. Where strict gender rules bind in both Western and Indian cultures, forcing her to confront questions about gender dynamics, racial tensions, ethnic stereotypes and her father’s creeping mortality—all as she tries to find her feet in the world.
With a clear eye and biting wit, Scaachi Koul explores the absurdity of a life steeped in misery. And through these intimate, wise and laugh-out-loud funny dispatches, a portrait of a bright new literary voice emerges.

Scaachi uses a great sense of humour to discuss serious themes such as the conditions of girls and women versus men’s, the difficulty of reconciling Indian traditions and today’s Western ways of life, brown color children and adults suffering from racism, women’s vulnerability and biased perceptions of women rapes, struggling family relationships, etc.
I love the tone of the narration filled with energy, emotions and humour.
I appreciate that the book is read by the author
Scaachi as it gives a deeper and more authentic meaning to the essay.
I hope my 17th and 20th year old daughters will read and enjoy this book as much as I did.

Great story of an Indian-origin Canadian young woman

I thoroughly enjoyed the stories of navigating the trickier parts of life from gender stereotypes and nonsensical social expectations to family dynamics. Lots of hearty laughter.

Funny and relatable

As an Indo Caribbean Canadian woman I found this book highly relatable. I found myself laughing out loud more than a few times. So nice to have the feeling of shared experience. I only wish the narration was more modulated. I found the narration somewhat monotone in contrast to the story being told that to me begged much more animation and ‘personality’.

Relatable

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The stories shared definitely resonate with my own Indian (punjabi) heritage and experiences.

Enjoyable listen
