Compared by Danzy Senna to "the young Philip Roth" for her "lashing, dark humor tinged with deep melancholy," Porochista Khakpour is one of her generation's most outrageously gifted new talents. Sons and Other Flammable Objects is at once a comedy and a tragedy, a family history, and a modern coming-of-age story with a distinctly timeless resonance. Growing up, Xerxes Adam is painfully aware that he is different awith an understanding of his Iranian heritage that vacillates from typical teenage embarrassment to something so tragic it can barely be spoken. His father, Darius, obsesses over his sense of exile, and fantasizes about a nonexistent daughter he can relate to better than his living son; Xerxes' mother changes her name and tries to make friends; but neither of them can help their son make sense of the terrifying, violent last moments in a homeland he barely remembers. As he grows into manhood and moves to New York, his major goal in life is to completely separate from his parents, but when he meets a beautiful half-Iranian girl on the roof of his building after New York's own terrifying and violent catastrophe strikes, it seems Iran will not let Xerxes go.Binding Type: Paperback

LOVE it! Easy to use, pigment is perfect, lasts all day!
Color: Black Brown, Size: 0.01 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I am a victim of early childhood bullying by my brother, who used me for the butt of all his jokes. My eyebrows for one. Always saying they were so think, I looked like the character from the guy from the Muppets Bert or Ernie. Always pointing them out and ridiculing me in front of everyone. I was little and it got worse as I got older, so when I was in grade school, I got tired of it and got ahold of my older sister's Nair hair removal and took them off. Imagine being in fifth grade fat, ugly and no brows, the taunting got even worse, so I had to learn from a young age to draw them in, I went through hell!
Throughout the years, I learned how to draw them in and always used Jordana pencils as they were cheap and perfect. Since they no longer make them anyone, I went on the hunt for a better pencil, and after spending tons of money on eyebrow pencils and seeing how worthless they were, I tried these and OMG, FINALLY, someone got it right. These pencils are perfect, it's a self sharpening mechanical pencil so you don't loose half the pencil when trying to sharpen, It applies perfectly, the coverage is perfect, stays on forever, and removes with ease. One other thing that makes this pencil even more dynamic is the eraser at the end of the pencil, it allows you to shape your brows perfectly!

Sharp lines that don’t smudge
Color: Black, Size: 0.01 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This eyeliner is very precise and easy to apply, allowing you to create clean, sharp lines without much effort. The waterproof formula holds up well throughout the day without smudging or fading easily. It works well for both subtle everyday looks and more dramatic winged eyeliner styles. The built-in sharpener also helps maintain precision over time. Overall, it’s a dependable eyeliner for long-lasting eye definition.

Revlon colorstay pencil
Color: Sapphire, Size: 0.01 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This liner goes on well and has staying power. I like the color and am happy with this purchase, however… it needs to be sharpened just about every use. I probably won’t order again.
