IMMIGRANT, MONTANA

Author Amitava Kumar narrates this exploration of Kailash's early years in the United States. Part memoir, part novel, Kailash's story is told with tongue-in-cheek humor. Kumar recounts the hilarious, sex-obsessed inner monologues of a 20-something Indian man who lands in the country of his dreams. Listeners are privy to the awkward, silly, and painful moments of a stranger in a strange land. From Kailash's first date to his girlfriend's abortion, we have a front row seat on his induction into American life, told in the lilting rhythm of Kumar's narration. His delivery is steady, precise, and deliberate as he takes us on his search to make a home thousands of miles away from everyone he has ever known. Part melancholic and part ironic, this audiobook is full of feeling. M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2018]
