The book is narrated by Kimiâ Sadr,[1] who at age 10 flees Iran and goes to exile in Paris. She feels disoriented from her lack of status in the society, and the novel's title is a combination of the words "désorienter" and "oriental".[3] Disoriental describes the history of her family, including her two older sisters, her six uncles, and her parents. Her father Darius, who does political advocacy,[2] accommodates the narrator's tomboyish nature.[1] Kimia is a bisexual.[3] Her mother Sara is also an activist.[2] Kimiâ's second uncle, a gay man, lives in a country where homosexuality is illegal and has a heterosexual marriage that produced children. The other characters see him as the family mythologist.[1] Foreshadowing is a common device in Disoriental.[2] ReceptionAzarin Sadegh of the Los Angeles Review of Books stated that the French original has a "rich, deep, lyrical, with cinematographic quality" while this aspect disappears in the English translation.[3] Dalia Sofer of The New York Times described this as a "rich" novel. She criticized the lengthy descriptions of Iranian history, arguing the passages are "weighing down" the content.[1] Robin Yassin-Kassab of The Guardian stated that "this novel compels the reader’s attention as consistently as it entertains."[2] The English translation of Disoriental has been shortlisted for the 2019 Albertine Prize.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|author=Sofer, Dalia|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/08/books/review/negar-djavadi-distoriental.html|title=A Persian Turned Parisian Insists: I’m Not an Immigrant, I’m an Exile|publisher=The New York Times|date=2018-06-08|accessdate=2018-12-25}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|author=Yassin-Kassab, Robin|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jul/25/disoriental-by-negar-djavadi-review|title=Disoriental by Négar Djavadi review – Iranian life in exile |publisher=The Guardian|date=2018-12-25|accessdate=2018-12-25}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|author=Sadegh, Azarin|url=https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-dichotomy-of-remembrance-negar-djavadis-disoriental/|title=The Dichotomy of Remembrance: Négar Djavadi’s "Disoriental"|publisher=Los Angeles Review of Books|date=2018-04-11|accessdate=2018-12-25}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://lithub.com/meet-the-shortlisted-writers-for-the-2019-albertine-prize/|title=Meet the Shortlisted Writers for the 2019 Albertine Prize|date=2019-04-03|website=Literary Hub|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-03}} Further reading
