the juvenile immigrant
prose chapbook from speaking tiger books, 2019
COVER BLURB:​
"In her sparkling debut, Namrata Verghese explores the disorders and triumphs of Indian immigrants, particularly Malayalis, in America. These short stories brilliantly evoke interior dramas of dislocation, racism, mental illness, marriage, and infidelity, with surprising twists of humor, pathos, and pessimism. Marked by keen psychological insight and visceral prose, they speak urgently to our contemporary moment."
