I had this checked out from the library since it won its Stonewall Award in January. Finally picked it up to occupy the time during insomnia. I feel guilty for keeping this out of the library for so long. This book is a gem. It reveals the stories of three generations of Iranian/Iranian-American men when each was 17-19 years old. The result is like a gay, Iranian, Joy Luck Club, but easier to track wear the threads of pain have worn thin and fractured the relationships. Against the backdrop of the homophobia of 1939 Hollywood and the failure of ideals in the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Mouds problems with his "Peak White Guy" boyfriend seem small, but his story brings healing to the other two. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"2019. Moud is an out gay teen living in Los Angeles with his distant father, Saeed. When Moud gets the news that his grandfather in Iran is dying, he accompanies his dad to Tehran, where the revelation of family secrets will force Moud into a new understanding of his history, his culture, and himself. 1978. Saeed is an engineering student with a promising future ahead of him in Tehran. But when his parents discover his involvement in the country's burgeoning revolution, they send him to safety in America, a country Saeed despises. And even worse--he's forced to live with the American grandmother he never knew existed. 1939. Bobby, the son of a calculating Hollywood stage mother, lands a coveted MGM studio contract. But the fairy-tale world of glamour he's thrust into has a dark side. Set against the backdrop of Tehran and Los Angeles, this tale of intergenerational trauma and love is an ode to the fragile bonds of family, the hidden secrets of history, and all the beautiful moments that make us who we are today."--Provided by publisher.

Excellent treatment of how gays are treated in a culture other than your own and negotiating the thought shifts that go with learning your assumptions may not be accurate. I sometimes get impatient with novels that shift between narrators and time periods, but this one does it really well. (
