Joan Silber, Author of Ideas of Heaven
"Wildly original, Bone Worship is a real find. A superbly cranky American daughter and her impossible, mysterious Iranian father are the fabulous characters populating this wonderful novel about husband-hunting and self-hunting. It is a book at once comic and serious, unpredictable at every turn, with a cross-cultural family drama that cracks through old notions."
The scene in the forest had become for me, without my knowing it, the foundation for the real story I am now trying to tell. The fragments, you see, had to be picked up slowly, long afterwards.”
—Sherwood Anderson, from "Death in the Woods"
