Next Friday, November 14 at 7:00pm, author Daniel Nayeri will be visiting Iowa City!
Not only is he a well-known and award-winning writer, but he is also a person of faith. He will share about his book Everything Sad Is Untrue, which tells his powerful story of becoming a refugee—beginning with his mother’s brave decision to embrace Christianity in a country where it was a capital offense. His family’s journey takes them from a midnight escape from secret police, to refugee camps in Italy, and finally to asylum in the United States.
Filled with laughter, hope, and heartfelt storytelling, Daniel Nayeri’s talk will take place Friday at 7:00 PM in the IMU Richey Ballroom (3rd floor).
