Avan Jogia

Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing 3415 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Beaverton

From actor Avan Jogia comes a raw and moving collection of poetry, stories, and art about living as a mixed-race person in a world increasingly fixated on racial identity. In Mixed Feelings (Andrews McMeel), Jogia explores his complicated emotions around race, identity, religion, and family through poetry and imagery. Drawing on his own life story as well as interviews he's conducted with friends and strangers, Mixed Feelings serves as a dialogue-starter for difficult topics that now, more than ever, need to be discussed.
