Reviews of Try Me:

“At last an immigrant autobiography without a mission to complain.
A fresh and fearless voice”
Farrukh Dhondy, author of Bombay Duck and Adultery

“Casually shocking. Artfully bizarre. The most jaw-dropping memoir I’ve read since Jeffrey Archer’s prison diaries”
- Guy Adams, The Independent

“An autobiography that shocks, appals, sucks one into its consistently amoral world and then spits one out at the end dry-mouthed. Damji’s book is intelligent, gutsy, full of paradox, and quite unlike any other account of the immigrant experience.”
-The Evening Standard.

“A powerful and riveting tale of betrayal and culture, this is Farah’s own gutsy story. Shocking and explosive at times and brilliantly written.” -NOW Magazine

“After only the first paragraph, I was hooked. ‘Try Me’ is brilliantly written and describes the darker side of the media industry for women of all races. Detailing her travels to London and New York, her relationships, problems, drugs, alcohol, sex and fashion, her writing is utterly compelling.”
Fashion156.com

“Farah Damji’s had quite a life – born in Uganda, she moved to England as a child. At 18 she moved to New York and became an art dealer, where she mixed with members of high society, then works as a journalist before ending up in jail. It’s a no-holds-barred read – we couldn’t put it down.”
Four Stars -Look Magazine

“Her chronicles of New York are fascinating in their detail….she writes and curses the fantasy of flight”
-The New Statesman
