Sometimes, healing begins when we finally speak the truth. Monster Dances at Dusk is not just a memoir—it’s a mirror. A raw, poetic journey of a woman breaking free from silence, cultural expectations, and emotional pain.
In this book, Duraiya pulls no punches. She takes you deep into the emotional world of childhood trauma, cultural dissonance, and the wounds we carry in silence. As a daughter of brown immigrants, she lived between worlds. The pressure to conform buried her voice. The result? Years of internal chaos.
But she didn’t stay there.
She wrote her way out.
We rarely hear stories like this—unfiltered, lyrical, and layered in truth.
Each chapter is a step toward healing, a moment of remembering, and a spark for those still trapped in the dark. Duraiya’s honesty invites you to do the same: to pause, reflect, and reclaim your story.
