About Call Me Zebra
An Amazon Best Book of February 2018: In this delightfully weird and funny novel, a young Iranian exile named Zebra makes her way from New York to Barcelona to dive deep into the past, when generations of her brilliantly intellectual, underachieving forebears were “gored by history.” Thanks to her father’s relentless tutelage, Zebra has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of literature, but her embrace of fatalism has left her oddly uncertain about why or how to live. Enter Ludo, a sexy Italian philologist. His advice to Zebra (“You need to get out of your head and have some fun”) leads to an explosive clash of sensibilities. Zebra is off-kilter and eccentric in a way that we rarely see in female literary characters, but she’ll remind you of Ignatius J. Reilly in A Confederacy of Dunces, and Cervantes’ Don Quixote, whose picaresque adventures inspire her own. If you loved the balance of warmth and cleverness in Helen DeWitt’s The Last Samurai, Call Me Zebra might be your next favorite novel. Endearingly deluded heroines are ultimately the most lovable, and you’ll be rooting for Zebra, and for love, until the end. —Sarah Harrison Smith, Amazon Book Review
