We had a great month highlighting our favorite themes and moments in DISORIENTATION by Elaine Hsieh Chou! Keep an eye on our @phenomenalbooks Instagram and Twitter next week for information about our next read.

DISORIENTATION tackles the experience of being a first generation American, which often includes a complex relationship between immigrant parents and their children.

We think this is a pretty accurate mood board, but you'll have to read DISORIENTATION to find out 😉

DISORIENTATION made us feel grateful we’re not back in school

DISORIENTATION by @elainehsiehchou reminds us that if we stay obsessed with whiteness, we will lose ourselves every time.
