Everything Sad is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri

Paperback - Like New
Nonfiction; Young Adult
 
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.
 
A tale of heartbreak and resilience and urges readers to speak their truth and be heard.
