Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by TIME, The National, Nylon, Electric Literature, and Library Journal MEET THE MILANIS. FAST-FOOD HEIRESSES, LA ROYALTY, AND YOUR NEWEST REALITY TV OBSESSION Iranian-American multimillionaires Ali and Homa Milani have it all—a McMansion in the hills of Los Angeles, a microwaveable snack empire, and four spirited daughters. There’s Violet, the big-hearted aspiring model; Roxanna, the chaotic influencer; Mina, the chronically-online overachiever; and the impressionable health fanatic Haylee. On the verge of landing their own reality TV show, the Milanis realize their deepest secrets are about to be dragged out into the open before the cameras even roll. Each of the Milanis—even their aloof Persian cat Pari—has something to hide, but the looming scrutiny of fame also threatens to bring the family closer than ever. Dramatic, biting yet full of heart, Tehrangeles is a tragicomic saga about high-functioning family dysfunction and the ever-present struggle to accept one’s true self. PRAISE for TEHRANGELES ‘[A] biting, clever tragicomic…Think: Reality TV, Los Angeles McMansions, and a fast food empire.’ – Nylon ‘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 PRAISE for POROCHISTA KHAKPOUR ‘Porochista Khakpour is a treasure.’ – Elif Batuman ‘The English language has a new master tickler and it is laughing out loud.’ – Gary Shteyngart ‘One of our best new satirists, partly because she is never as moving as when she is entirely sincere’ – Alexander Chee
