Straight Outta Crawley by Romesh Ranganathan

A candid, wry memoir that traces growing up in a working-class English town as the son of Sri Lankan Tamil parents, detailing family life, cultural clashes and the awkwardness of adolescence with self-deprecating humor; it follows the author’s path from schoolteacher to stand-up comedian, mixing laugh-out-loud anecdotes with sharper reflections on race, class, fame and identity while remaining warm, honest and observant about how those forces shaped his life.
