Currycel

Samir M Soni, 2026

A book men should read to understand feminism, and women should read to understand men. In a culture that often portrays South Asian men as either sexless or sexual predators, 29-year-old Indian American Aryan Chandlo has struck out with every woman he has ever approached. So, he does the one thing no young man should ever do: he Googles "how to get a date." Alongside the pickup artistry and men's rights activism in the manosphere, he finds the involuntary celibate (incel) community on Reddit. Among these edgelords and gamer geeks, a subgroup of Indian incels (currycels) tell him exactly what he wants to hear: it isn't his fault he is alone, but rather women's fault for being racist against Asian men. Over time, Aryan is drawn deeper and deeper into their misogynistic and defeatist ideology, posting rants denouncing feminism, which he believes enables women's racism towards Asian men. However, he soon comes to an important realization: feminism isn't the cause of his problems, it's the solution. Currycel takes readers through the strange rabbit hole that leads some Asian American men from antiracism to misogyny, and then sketches a path back to feminism. This novel offers an in-depth look at one of the darkest corners of the internet, the subreddit r/incels, during its heyday before it was shut down in 2016. Currycel also presents a journey through the quagmire that is online dating with a mental illness. Because for some young men, masculinity is a bell jar that stinks of eggs and hot sauce.
