It does not constitute a novel, but rather a metaphysical search in a barely fictional form. ![]() His progress is both fantastic and quite logical, both full of suspense and paradox. He records his change from a most worthy defender of widows and orphans and other "noble" causes, and from a lover of the good things in life, to an associate of thieves, murderers and panderers in the dive where he now makes his headquarters, devoting himself to the conversion of others to his view of life.

Learning that her cat has died in the street is close to the last straw. She is estranged from her brother and former friend. ![]() She lives in a dreary apartment with her cat, her closest companion. The alternative outcome could have led to a miserable life, or could have had negative ramifications on others that she had no way of seeing.Īs the book opens, Nora is going through a bad spot. In this book, Hague takes Nora through alternate lives where she learns that many times there was no need for regret. Is there an alternate universe where we could see or live the life of ourselves and others had we made a different decision or taken a different course, said yes rather than no? When we regret any of those, we assume that things would, of course, have been better for ourselves and others had we acted differently. It’s difficult to undo a decision, an action or an inaction. The subject that resonated most with me was the issue of regrets. Haig’s book tackles a number of difficult and meaningful subjects: kindness, loneliness, mental health, and learning to love life. Although his novel is set primarily in Bedford, England, the main character, Nora, does a form of time travel to several locations as she waffles between life and death. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig is a worthwhile, thought-provoking and sometimes humorous read. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And there is beauty amid the pain as well as laughter. Not “beholden” to the linear conventions of Western storytelling, the story might come across as disjointed, but the various anecdotes are underscored by a painful coherence as they work to illuminate not only a larger story, but a life. ![]() Yet somehow “memoir” fails to do justice to the scope of the narrative, the self-proclaimed antithesis of just another “ ‘poor me’ tale of immigrant woe.” Like Scheherazade, Nayeri spins 1,001 tales: In under 400 pages he recounts Persian myth and history, leads readers through days banal and outstanding, waxes philosophical on the nature of life and love, and more. At its most basic level, Nayeri’s offering is a fictionalized refugee’s memoir, an adult looking back at his childhood and the forced adoption of a new and infinitely more difficult life. Daniel, the adult, pieces together his “patchwork” past to stitch a quilt of memory in a free-wheeling, layered manner more reminiscent of a conversation than a text. Khosrou, the child, stands before his class in Oklahoma and tells stories of Iran, lifetimes’ worth of experiences compressed into writing prompts. “Every story is the sound of a storyteller begging to stay alive.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There's a reason they say you can't go home again.
