You've Changed: Fake Accents, Feminism, and Other Comedies from Myanmar
by Pyae Moe Thet War
Thank you to Catapult Press and Netgalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!
Available May 3rd 2022
Like a millennial Socrates, Pyae Moe Thet War sets out to question modern life in her debut nonfiction collection, "You've Changed." The book covers everything from periods to baking to class and gender roles and of course, colonialism and its modern spawn, capitalism. What I love most is how Mynmar plays a complicated role throughout the book. At parts, Myanmar is an outdated villain that holds the narrator back from achieving her full potential with its stringent gender roles. In other parts, Myanmar is a much beloved and comforting home. The complexities and nuances of what we call home, what we love and what we must reckon with are approached with care and attention. I loved this book!
