A searing, sunlit debut about the powerful bonds that make and break an Iranian-American family

Three young brothers leave Los Angeles in the dead of night for Iran, taken by their father from their mother to a country and an ancestral home they barely recognize. They return to the Valley months later, spit back into American life and changed in inexorable ways. Under the dazzling light of the California sun, our protagonist, the youngest brother, begins to piece together a childhood shattered by his father's violence, a queer adolescence marked by a shy, secret love affair with a boy he meets on the basketball court, and his ever-changing status as a Muslim in America at the turn of the new millennium.

Lyrical and open-hearted, I WILL GREET THE SUN AGAIN is an unforgettable portrait of a family being torn apart, and a boy emerging from its ashes.

'I WILL GREET THE SUN AGAIN is exquisite, heart-breaking, incredibly beautiful. The whole narrative thrums with a bright, warm longing. You can feel the sunshine of LA and Iran, the rhythm of Khashayar J Khabushani's voice. This is a novel to return to again and again.' Caleb Azumah Nelson, award-winning, bestselling author of OPEN WATER

Reseñas de la crítica

A triumph... tender and gut-wrenching... a book of astonishing accomplishment and bravery
Exquisite, heart-breaking, incredibly beautiful
Life-affirming... Khabushani is a talented writer
A heartbreaking debut
A moving debut, teeming with desire and light, and quietly devastating. Khashayar J. Khabushani’s voice keens and surprises, and at the center of the book we find K, tenderhearted, spirit glowing like a beacon (Justin Torres, author of WE THE ANIMALS)
Khashayar J. Khabushani's debut novel - told from the perspective of an Iranian American boy whose immigrant parents are struggling to build a life in L.A. - is a brutally intimate reckoning with coming of age as a Muslim after 9/11, the confusion of navigating conflicting worlds, and the burning desire to belong
A beautiful, lyrical delve into identity, familial betrayal, and the lasting effects of childhood trauma. Khabushani renders American boyhood and coming of age as viscerally and clear-eyed as he transports--from L.A.'s basketball courts and housing complexes to the bazaars and highways of Iran. I Will Greet the Sun Again is as breathtaking as it is heartbreaking. (Jonathan Escoffery, Booker-shortlisted author of I WILL SURVIVE YOU)
Khashayar J. Khabushani's debut novel, devoted to adolescence in all its glory and devastation, is a marvel. Reading it, I felt the thrill and joy of encountering a major writer at the beginning of his career (Megha Majumdar, author of A BURNING)
Why wasn't Khabushani's I Will Greet the Sun Again around when I was ten, when I was twenty? This is a book I've dreamt of reading my whole life... I will be thinking about these characters for the rest of my life (Kaveh Akbar, author of PILGRIM BELL)
A work of meticulous care and genuine candor, one that shies away from no earthly event, yet spiritually soars. To read it is to experience the contradictions of the weighty and the exalted, to witness a self forged by both brutality and love. Khabushani is a poetic visionary, as generous as he is brave (Heidi Julavits, author of THE FOLDED CLOCK and THE VANISHERS)
