A big-hearted and marvelous debut."  &mdash;Jasmine Warga, author of My Heart and Other Black Holes&ldquo;Darius the Great is Not Okay is a total knockout. This story of identity and friendship&mdash;and how one can inform and reveal the other&mdash;will stay with me for a long time. And challenge me too, as a person and artist, which all great books should do. For its exploration of male friendship and cultural expectations alone, Adib Khorram&rsquo;s lovely debut should be required reading.&rdquo;  &mdash;John Corey Whaley, award-winning author of Highly Illogical Behavior"Prepare to fall hard for Darius. His voice will grab you instantly, with sharp humor and tender growing up moments, and won't let go until the very last page. This is openhearted storytelling at its best." &mdash;Arvin Ahmadi, author of Down and Across
