Table of ContentsReviews“Everyday Reading is deeply archival, and Mandhwani skillfully negotiates both what the archive presents and what it does not, painstakingly accounting for both the general inclinations and desires of the readers even as she seeks to explain some of the contradictions that are part and parcel of any middle class.
