Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri

5.0

I really enjoyed this - a touching, real life story! The author/ narrator tells the story from his perspective as a young adolescent refugee, going back and forth between his life in the US and his young childhood in Iran. He interweaves his story with the Middle Eastern folktale “1001 Nights,”, and I found the actual construction of his own story a fascinating connection to that. I listened to this on audio and I loved hearing the author narrate his own story, but there were also many profound lines I wish I could have lingered on!
