Yes, My Accent Is Real: And Some Other Things I Haven't Told

Yes, My Accent Is Real: And Some Other Things I Haven't Told You

In the spirit of Mindy Kalingâ€™s bestseller Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? or Judd Apatowâ€™s Sick in the Head, a collection of humorous, autobiographical essays from Kunal Nayyar, best known as Raj on CBSâ€™s #1 hit comedy The Big Bang Theory.

Of all the charming misfits on television, thereâ€™s no doubt Raj from The Big Bang Theoryâ€”the sincere yet incurably geeky Indian astrophysicistâ€”ranks among the misfittingest. Now, we meet the actor who is every bit as loveable as the character he plays on TV. In this revealing collection of essays written in his irreverent, hilarious, and self-deprecating voice, Kunal Nayyar traces his journey from a little boy in New Delhi who mistakes an awkward first kiss for a sacred commitment, gets nosebleeds chugging Coca-Cola to impress other students, and excels in the sport of badminton, to the confident, successful actor on the set of TVâ€™s most-watched sitcom since Friends.

Going behind the scenes of The Big Bang Theory and into his personal experiences, Kunal introduces readers to the people who helped him grow, such as his James Bond-loving, mustachioed father. Kunal also walks us through his college years in Portland, where he takes his first sips of alcohol and learns to let loose with his French, 6â€™8â€ gentle-giant roommate, works his first-ever job for the universityâ€™s housekeeping department cleaning toilets for minimum wage, and begins a series of romantic exploits that go just about as well as they would for Raj. (That is, until he meets and marries a former Miss India in an elaborate seven-day event that we get to experience in a chapter titled â€œMy Big Fat Indian Wedding.â€)

Full of heart, but never taking itself too seriously, this witty collection of underdog tales follows a young man as he traverses two continents in search of a dream, along the way transcending culture and language (and many, many embarrassing incidents) to somehow miraculously land the role of a lifetime.
