Scaachi Koul is a Canadian journalist whose first collection of essays, One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter, observes the world in a wry, irreverent, moving, and laugh-out-loud funny series of tales. At its heart, the collection tells her story of growing up the daughter of Indian immigrants to Canada, but it also tackles self-image, body hair, drinking, anxiety, and working on the internet while female. She is a senior culture writerfor BuzzFeed News, and previously worked in publishing.
It's time to discuss the Books & Boba Book Club pick for April 2018, One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter by Scaachi Koul, a collection of personal essays about the author's life from childhood to adulthood and the struggles she faced as a second generation immigrant in Canada. Her stories range from seven-day Indian weddings, disastrous shopping trips, to dealing with internet trolls and would-be rapists.
