"Brown Girl Chromatography is a wise manual of immigrant coming of age—a journey of ancestry and longing, an embrace of the past and a love song to the future. Anuradha Bhowmik speaks for all the brown girls who ‘couldn't have/crushes in fourth grade,’ all of us who weren’t ‘white women/wearing lingerie in the glossy Macy’s ad.’ The speaker’s journey through the minefield of popular culture, family responsibility, and maturation into an unmapped womanhood is handled with deft precision."
-Allison Joseph, author of Confessions of a Barefaced Woman


"Brown Girl Chromatography is pure fire, a slow burn to the center of desire. This is a book of longing, of brokenness, of makeup (‘my second art, the perfect counterpart to my alter ego’), of wanting what you’re not supposed to want and then constructing a world from it: ‘This is my kingdom. / this is something I can control.’ This is the most inventive book I’ve read in ages."
-Aaron Smith, author of The Book of Daniel
