Samenvatting
A poetic, open-hearted debut about an Iranian American boy searching for his place in the worldteeming with desire and light, and quietly devastating (Justin Torres, author of We the Animals)
Call me K, because unlike Baba and Maman I was born right here and like my brothers I want to be known as a boy from L.A., since thats the truth.
Growing up in the San Fernando Valley with his two brothers, all K wants is to be a boy from L.A., all American. But Kthe youngest, named after a Persian kingknows theres something different about himself. Like the way he feels about his closest friend, Johnny, a longing that he cant share with anyone.
At home, K must navigate another confusing identity: that of the dutiful son of Iranian immigrants struggling to make a life for themselves in the United States. He tries to make his mother proud, live up to her ideal of a son. On Friday nights, K attends prayers at the local mosque with Baba, whose violent affections distort Ks understanding of what it means to be a man and how to love.
When Baba takes the three brothers from their mother back to Iran, K finds himself in an ancestral home he barely knows. Returning to the Valley months later, K must piece together who he is, in a world that now feels as foreign to him as the one he left behind.
A stunning, tender novel of identity and belonging, I Will Greet the Sun Again tells the story of a young man lost in his own family, his own country, and his own skin. Staring down the brutality of being a queer kid and a Muslim in America, Khashayar J. Khabushani transforms personal and national pain into an unforgettable and beautifully rendered exploration of youth, love, familyand the stories that make us who we are.
