\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

A sprawling, evocative, and groundbreaking autobiographical novel told in the unforgettable and hilarious voice of a young Iranian refugee. It is a powerfully layered novel that poses the questions: Who owns the truth? Who speaks it? Who believes it?<\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cA patchwork story is the shame of the refugee,\u201d Nayeri writes early in the novel. In an Oklahoman middle school, Khosrou (whom everyone calls Daniel) stands in front of a skeptical audience of classmates, telling the tales of his family\u2019s history, stretching back years, decades, and centuries. At the core is Daniel\u2019s story of how they became refugees\u2014starting with his mother\u2019s vocal embrace of Christianity in a country that made such a thing a capital offense, and continuing through their midnight flight from the secret police, bribing their way onto a plane-to-anywhere. Anywhere becomes the sad, cement refugee camps of Italy, and then finally asylum in the U.S. <\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Implementing a distinct literary style and challenging western narrative structures, Nayeri deftly weaves through stories of the long and beautiful history of his family in Iran, adding a richness of ancient tales and Persian folklore. Like Scheherazade of One Thousand and One Nights, Daniel spins a tale to save his own life: to stake his claim to the truth. <\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

A tale of heartbreak and resilience and urges readers to speak their truth and be heard. <\/p>\n

– Daniel is a major force and one of the youngest publishers in the industry.
– He\u2019s an #OwnVoices author, public speaker, and storyteller.
– A pulled-from-the headlines immigrant story.
– Thematically relevant as immigration stories take center stage in politics, news, and media in 2020.
– Daniel challenges how we tell stories by using traditional Persian folk tales
– A fantastic literary whirlwind\u202f that questions western narrative structures. <\/p>\n
