The Last Illusion by Porochista Khakpour

5.0

This book is brilliant, a richly layered story with deep characterization and deep psychology. Khakpour folds together childhood trauma, 9/11, magic tricks, clairvoyance, mental health, identity, and Persian literature into a novel that is unequivocally unique and beautifully written. I have never read anything like it. A masterpiece.
