Paperback. Condition: New. Complicating the idea of a single immigrant narrative, the stories in Diversity Quota move from the US to Nepal and back again, showing how displacement can lead to suffering or hope-sometimes simultaneously. In Kathmandu, Nepalis are frequently caught up in battles between tradition and progress; in the United States, their cultural dislocation is often emblematic of the larger predicaments immigrants face. Ranjan Adiga navigates these larger problems of racism, inequity, and gender roles, all the while centering the humanity of his characters, flaws and all. In these stories, the lines between "winners" and "losers" in a rapidly globalizing world become frayed and warped. A Nepali migrant's worst fears materialize in "Leech." A couple in "Denver" tries to acclimate to a new social class. A middle-aged man is attracted to his barber in "Haircut and Massage." A Nepali professor is captivated by a white American student in "The Diversity Committee." In often unexpected ways, Adiga captures moments of survival amid worlds colored by precarity.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Leech dives into the stories and lives of contemporary Nepalis struggling to belong to new worlds. In Kathmandu, they are caught between tradition and progress. In America, it is no different. A leech caught inside a man's nostril reveals fissures of class; a middle-aged Nepali man tries to come to terms with his sexuality in a deeply conventional social system; a professor worries about his immigrant status; a young couple try to bridge the silences in their relationship after moving to America. Each story explores the distance between home and abroad, desire and reality, allegiance and treachery.
