Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri

5.0

“…if you spend time with each other - if we really listen in the parlors of our mind and look at each other as we were meant to be seen - then we would fall in love. We would marvel at how beautifully we were made. We would never think to be villain kings, and we would never kill each other. Just the opposite. The stories aren’t the thing. The thing is the story of the story. The spending of the time. The falling in love”
I love to read the stories of peoples’ lives and have always found them so much more interesting than any fiction could be. Daniel Nayeri captured this love for stories that are true and fascinating because they are true with his life and memories. That’s why I picked up this book, but I was then encouraged even more so by reading of the faith of Nayeri’s family and how that shaped so many memories.
