Description
Sukhjit Kaur Khalsa is on a quest to describe how she became an all-round performer after a childhood in a quiet and undramatic migrant family. Where did it all go wrong?
Sukhjit Kaur Khalsa knows a thing or two about telling a story. From her experience on stages and in front of live and television audiences, she now offers us her first book. Sukhjit reflects on her own experience as a Sikh-Australian woman, performing it against a backdrop of comfort and calamity—how we live our lives in a messy and multi-layered society.
Using the staging of meals as her mode, Sukhjit explores presumptions and the nuances of all that we can bring to the table. She plays with the etiquette of what is carried into public arenas and what stays in our private worlds—our aspirations and heritage, and all our baggage.
There are no exclusionary zones for this courageous, passionate, irreverent, and very funny writer.
