An unenjoyable Persian carpet ride : The Rug Merchant
A fortyish rug merchant, having spent three long, lonely years in America while his miscarriage-prone wife remained in Iran to care for his mother and locate his stock, learns that his wife has moved on without him. When he meets a young American girl (19 years old and described as "half his age") his sad world transforms.
Although the wordplay involving the American-idiomatically-challenged immigrant is really good, the point of the story is unclear. In fact, it seems that there is no point. Among the incomprehensible: discussions of three suicides and/or attempted suicides; two incidences of a certain type of intimate contact; an incident involving an overheard appropriate or inappropriate conversation between a father and young daughter in a bathroom stall; the pure state of the young love interest, as well as her desire to become otherwise with with the help of a fatherly foreigner (one with revulsion for his own mother, whose existence only inconveniences him in the form of phone calls and letters); a bitter, hate-spewing African man; and the ending.
Except for the great cross lingual conversational issues between the American teenager and her Iranian boyfriend, the story just plain senseless. House of Sand and Fog by Albert Dubus is a better read.
