Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri is a semi-autobiographical novel that recounts the story of Khosrou (Daniel), a young Iranian refugee living in Oklahoma. The narrative is a “patchwork” of his family’s escape from Iran, woven with Persian folklore, family stories, and the struggles of adapting to life in America. As Khosrou tells his story to his classmates, he reflects on identity, belonging, and the power of storytelling. The novel’s nonlinear structure and mix of humor, tragedy, and myth make it a unique and poignant exploration of immigrant experiences.
