Scaachi Koul's writing has it all—a gut-busting sense of humor, clear-eyed honesty, and striking introspection that she jokes is a symptom of narcissism. In her debut book, a collection of essays titled One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter, Koul, a culture writer for BuzzFeed, applies her sharp wit to tricky issues of race, culture and identity: what it means to be "lighter" than other Indians on a family trip to India, for example, and how she balances her life with her conservative South Asian parents' expectations.
