Praise

‘Like Little Women on an ayahuasca trip, Tehrangeles is delightfully twisted and heartfelt … The antics and agonies of the Milani family had me googling pet psychics and turning the pages gleefully – at turns surprised and horrified, but always charmed and laughing so hard.’ – Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians

‘a real crowd-pleaser’ – Bustle

‘[A] biting, clever tragicomic…Think: Reality TV, Los Angeles McMansions, and a fast food empire.’ – Nylon

‘bold and effervescent’ – Publishers Weekly

‘At once moving family drama, sparkling intergenerational comedy, and perfectly-tuned portrait of our modern, social-media-obsessed condition, Tehrangeles is an endless delight.’ – Matthew Specktor

‘Think the Kardashians meet Little Women and Crazy Rich Asians.’ – Vogue

‘Funny, devastating, and filled with dazzlingly accurate observations about the absurdities of our age, this is a story and family that will stay with you long after you finish. It’s a giddy and gaudy life that the Milanis lead, but underneath the bravado lies a tenderness that Khakpour reveals with playfulness and marvelous narrative style.’ –Marjan Kamali, author of The Stationery Shop

‘Like all great satires, Tehrangeles is both hilarious and heartfelt. With razor-sharp writing, Khakpour brings to life a family, a place, and a series of modern dilemmas that will leave you laughing, thinking, and wanting more.’ – Abdi Nazemian, author of Only This Beautiful Moment

‘One of our best new satirists, partly because she is never as moving as when she is entirely sincere’ – Alexander Chee

‘In compulsively readable sections examining fame, identity, and family dynamics, the Milani family’s chapter is as exuberant as it is entertaining.’ – Our Culture Mag
