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.

Download or read book Patchwork Memories written by Wayne H. Betham and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is like a patchwork quilt with each square telling a different story, but the entirety making a compilation of one's life. I have randomly selected different periods of my life that I found noteworthy and attempted to accumulate them into a fragment of my imagination. I have included stories from my childhood through adult and by no means exhausted the well that supplied them. The quilt will be complete when the stories end and that will be at my demise. We all have a quilt we're working on, whether we know it or not. What is displayed there may have bright colors and intricate stitching or dark overtones of black. We are the authors of our quilt and someday it will be revealed in its entirety to our glory or shame, which is the ultimate question. I hope you enjoy the few segments of my quilt I am sharing with you here.

Download or read book Little by Little written by Jane Little and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a memoir of one woman and her family spanning over four generations. "Little by Little" shares memories of love, strength, joy, and pride. The experiences shared in this book are taken from the author's seventy-nine years of life, her fifty-one years of marriage, over fifty years of parenting, and her thirty-six years of teaching. Several experiences were no doubt directly related to being an African American, or a coming from a Black family. Yet, most other experiences were universal in nature that will resonate with all readers. This is an unforgettable memoir filled with underlying themes of positivity, hope, gratitude, and faith. This story is filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom. The author has masterfully combined pieces of her life experiences just as a quilt maker joins pieces of fabric from the past to provide a link to the present and the future. There are stories from her childhood through her life of almost eighty years. The author's experiences and perspectives from growing up as a Black woman may provide you with new insights and cultural awareness. As you read the stories of family, may you feel the love and joy that the years provided. Certainly, there were challenges and some sorrow along the way, but the author has a way of looking for the positives in each situation. The book is one of personal stories, interspersed humor, and love.
