Awkward Memoirs From Little India
["FREE" PRICING IS PENDING FOR THE UK]
The Little India in Toronto, Canada is legendary.
Or at least it used to be.
The glory days of the nineties, with its glittery textiles, fried foods and Bollywood VHS tapes are over...but the memories remain.
From that time she first learned that Indian clothing and levels of glitter are a special form of castes, to the creepy restauranteur who once grazed her forearm with his golden bangle.
And let's not forget Indian video stores, and what the "Stardust" movie magazine is really all about.
Sophisticated travel log? No. Honest just-for-fun recollections? Yes.
This 3,000-word set of memoirs is a prelude to the 8,000-word "Awkward Memoirs From Actual India", also available now. Both were conceived on the author's blog and are written in that style.
OTHER WORKS BY THIS
"Year of the " Available now, this full-length novel is one woman's quest to find love within a year, all to avoid arranged marriage. Best described as edgy humor with heart. Lots of family awkwardness, lots of gross guys and cautionary Internet romance; you can't go wrong.
"NOT Love Poems For Real " Available now for only 99 cents, this collection of 30 poems covers off everything the real poets forgot about, like rejection, creepos, kissing frogs whilst in search of a prince, being someone else's frog bitch before they find someone better, all the fun stuff! [ the collection contains strong language and grown up themes sexy time, humiliation, and the fear of dying alone.]
"The Book of " Available now for $1.99, this humorous book is a parody of the bestselling "The Book of Awesome," with essay-style entries that remind you how much worse life could really be. The humor in this book is insane and ridiculous…and yes I contracted head lice at age twenty…and yes I wrote about it.

I really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading it, but it actually had me laughing out loud. The stories are just about ordinary people living their every day lives.

This was an ok book how ever I do wish that the author had done more to make it more interesting. I look forward to reading more of this authors work.

it was a funny short prelude to a much bigger story. i could not find her bigger book by the same name. i would like to read that when it comes out if it has not already. makes me want to know more about the culture, like a little italy or little china for instance. we have that all over in the states.

One of the advantages or disadvantages of e-books is that you have no clue how big or in this case, how small a book really is. I'm not sure how many pages this book would be in print but it's pretty darn short. It was funny though and depicted Toronto's Little India well.
