Beloved Strangers is a narrative of the author’s own rites of passage, from her childhood in Dhaka to her time as an adult in New England and then New York and then back to Dhaka again.Perhaps because of her upper class origins, the author's account has a Western tinge that makes it hard at times to recall she is growing up in Bangladesh. The text's tone also feels a bit too affected. But, overall, I liked it. Well written emotional autobiography.
Various thoughts on current events with an emphasis on politics, legal issues, books, movies and whatever is on my mind. Emails can be sent to almostsanejoe@aol.com; please put "blog comments" in the subject line.
