À propos de cet audio

At the front of a middle school classroom in Oklahoma, a boy named Khosrou (whom everyone calls "Daniel") stands, trying to tell a story. His story. But no one believes a word he says. To them he is a dark-skinned, hairy-armed boy with a big butt whose lunch smells funny; who makes things up and talks about poop too much. But Khosrou's stories, stretching back years, and decades, and centuries, are beautiful, and terrifying, from the
moment his family fled Iran in the middle of the night with the secret police moments behind them, back to the sad, cement refugee camps of Italy...and further back to the fieldsnear the river Aras, where rain-soaked flowers
bled red like the yolk of the sunset had burst over everything, and further back still to the jasmine-scented city of Isfahan. Like Scheherazade in a hostile classroom, Daniel weaves a tale to save his own life: to stake his claim to the truth. And it is (a true story).

I loved this book, heartfelt and tragic at the same time, but a story of triumph, and knowing who we are. I liked the pace and narration by the author, and how stories and myths were intertwined in his memories.
Some people have the kind of faith that can cut through anything.

Beautiful book of muddled memories of youth.

Coming of age has mythic dimensions for every kid wondering how to become a central character in one’s own life. Daniel Nayeri nails it in radiant, funny, heartrending, sacred stories of large and little life, so convincingly, innocently, imploringly told that I wished I could have been there, making sad things untrue.

Real insight through personal myth-telling
