By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Adib Khorram's brilliant debut is for anyone who's ever felt not good enough then met a friend who makes them feel so much better than okay.Įither the Beginning or the End of the Worldįor sixteen years, it's been just Sofie and her father, living on the New Hampshire coast. Sohrab calls him Darioush the original Farsi version of his name - and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he's Darioush to Sohrab. Soon, they're spending their days together, playing soccer, eating faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the city's skyline. Then Darius meets Sohrab, the boy next door, and everything changes. His clinical depression doesn't exactly help matters, and trying to explain his medication to his grandparents only makes things harder. Darius has never really fit in at home, and he's sure things are going to be the same in Iran. He's a Fractional Persian - half, his mom's side - and his first ever trip to Iran is about to change his life. Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones.
