Fresh off the plane: An immigrant diary - Vol. 1 (Pennsylvania to Baltimore) - Paperback

by Shree Varuna (Author)

In these troubled times when the rights of women, people of color, immigrants and so many others are jeopardized, Broken Shackles Press is proud to highlight voices of liberation like Shree Varuna and his first volume of essays documenting the initial years of a memorably sardonic immigrant journey in America. The book is a socio-political travelogue that neither pulls punches nor is afraid to be vulnerable, often with deadpan acceptance. Dealing with challenging housemates such as Fiefdom King and Slovenly Misogynist, not to mention the occasional violent racist or ignorant anti-abortionist, Shree Varuna presents his observations and experiences with a wry, heartfelt banter - providing both a lens and mirror to American society.
