Complicating the idea of a single immigrant narrative, the stories in Diversity Quota move from the US to Nepal and back again, showing how displacement can lead to suffering or hope-sometimes simultaneously. In Kathmandu, Nepalis are frequently caught up in battles between tradition and progress; in the United States, their cultural dislocation is often emblematic of the larger predicaments immigrants face. Ranjan Adiga navigates these larger problems of racism, inequity, and gender roles, while simultaneously centering the humanity of his characters, flaws and all. In these stories, the lines between "winners" and "losers" in a rapidly globalizing world become frayed and warped. A Nepali migrant's worst fears materialize in "Leech." A couple in "Denver" tries to acclimate to a new social class. A middle-aged man is attracted to his barber in "Haircut and Massage." A Nepali professor is captivated by a white American student in "The Diversity Committee." In often unexpected ways, Adiga captures moments of survival amid worlds colored by precarity.
