'The Best Possible Experiences' captures immigrant experience through short stories

About this episode

In today's episode, author Nishanth Injam tells NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer that when he first arrived in the U.S. from India, he wondered if he'd made a huge mistake. That tension he grappled with is now at the heart of his debut collection of short stories, The Best Possible Experiences, which chronicles the expansive ups and downs of being an immigrant, both at home and in a new place.
