Piecing Jacob
ByPublisher Description
Jacob was born in Tehran in 1961, in a world that taught him early how to survive by staying quiet. The last of four children in a tightly packed apartment building filled with extended family, neighbors, and unspoken rules, Jacob learned to watch, to listen, and to hide-even from himself. But silence has its limits.
As he journeys through childhood, exile, longing, and self-discovery, Jacob must eventually face the truth he carried like a hidden fire: he is a gay man in a world that told him he couldn't be. Coming out at the age of 36 is only the beginning of a deeper reckoning-with his past, his culture, his family, and the love he always knew he deserved.Piecing Jacob is a novel of memory, identity, and the quiet revolutions that shape a life.
