review 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? "A
patchwork story is the shame of the refugee," 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's history, stretching back years, decades, and
centuries. At the core is Daniel's story of how they
became refugees-starting with his mother's 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. 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 in a hostile classroom, Daniel spins a tale
to save his own life: to stake his claim to the truth.
EVERYTHING SAD IS UNTRUE (a true story) is a tale of
heartbreak and resilience and urges readers to speak their
truth and be heard.
