Another Appalachia
Coming Up Queer and Indian in a Mountain Place
Reviewed
I'm no longer giving ratings to memoirs or biographies. What could I base them on?
Instead I am grateful I got to read this collection of personal essays by Neema Avashia, a West Virginian who is of Indian decent, a teacher, a wife, and the daughter of some parents with very conservative views. I laughed out loud, I cheered, I boo'd and I almost cried. My only gripe was: I would have loved more family photos. A quick Google netted me some.
