Compared by Danzy Senna to "the young Philip Roth" for her "lashing, dark humor tinged with deep melancholy," Porochista Khakpour is one of her generation's most outrageously gifted new talents. Sons and Other Flammable Objects is at once a comedy and a tragedy, a family history, and a modern coming-of-age story with a distinctly timeless resonance. Growing up, Xerxes Adam is painfully aware that he is different awith an understanding of his Iranian heritage that vacillates from typical teenage embarrassment to something so tragic it can barely be spoken. His father, Darius, obsesses over his sense of exile, and fantasizes about a nonexistent daughter he can relate to better than his living son; Xerxes' mother changes her name and tries to make friends; but neither of them can help their son make sense of the terrifying, violent last moments in a homeland he barely remembers. As he grows into manhood and moves to New York, his major goal in life is to completely separate from his parents, but when he meets a beautiful half-Iranian girl on the roof of his building after New York's own terrifying and violent catastrophe strikes, it seems Iran will not let Xerxes go.Binding Type: Paperback

Shirts great, shorts are see through
Color: White, Size: Large
So my husband loved the shirt. It looked great on. However, the shorts were of a weirdly thinner material and completely see through. You could see his underwear right through the shorts.

Quality shirt
Color: Angel Falls, Size: XX-Large
Great quality fabric , style, and fit. My husband loves the fabric and colors. Ordered his normal xl but too tight across his stomach so returned and sized up , and fits much better. Even sizing up the shoulders hang nicely . He likes so much ordered two colors, both great.

Nice shirt for the price
Color: White, Size: Large
Good quality shirt, especially for the price. Drapes nicely, almost a painterly feel with the fabric. Works across the wardrobe spectrum, pairing well with slacks in a business setting or with chinos for a more casual look.
