Minor Feelings by Cathy Park Hong

The book delves into the complexities of Asian American identity through a blend of memoir, cultural criticism, and history. It explores the author's personal experiences with racism, mental health, and the sense of invisibility that often accompanies being part of a marginalized community. The narrative challenges the model minority myth and confronts the emotional and psychological toll of living in a society that frequently dismisses or stereotypes Asian Americans. Through poignant anecdotes and sharp analysis, the book offers a powerful examination of the nuanced and often contradictory feelings that arise from navigating a racialized world. The 6787th greatest book of all time
