A Book by Peter Ho Davies, Acclaimed Figure in American Literature, Was Published

According to the correspondent of the Iran Book News Agency (IBNA), Peter Ho Davies, a Welsh-born writer born in 1966, is an acclaimed figure in contemporary American literature, with awards such as the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and the PEN/Malamud Award in his portfolio. In his book ‘A Lie About You,’ which was nominated for the Lamberta Award for innovative stories, this author presents a short narrative on identity crisis and shame within a paternal experience.

An excerpt from the novel reads: ‘A time comes when they feel nostalgic about their son’s childhood. Stages that passed too quickly. He will never be four, never be five, never be six again. Another birthday and another and another. The longest day. The longest day. The first day the boy stays the night at his friend’s house, both constantly walk around the house as if they have lost something. Not him, but their old selves…’
