Why Not Me?
Kaling's second collection, on fame, impostor feelings, and the decade of work behind an overnight success, with the title as her thesis.
In her second essay collection, Kaling writes about the stretch after she became famous, on confidence and impostor feelings, dating and friendship, and the work behind an overnight success that actually took a decade. She is candid about being an outsider, a woman of color who does not fit Hollywood’s mold, and turns that into both comedy and quiet argument. The title doubles as her thesis: why shouldn’t she get the job, the love, the life she wants?
