Zebra is the last in a line of anarchists, atheists, and autodidacts. Alone and in exile, she leaves New York for Barcelona, retracing the journey she and her father made from Iran to the United States years ago. Books are her only companions - until she meets Ludo. Their connection is magnetic, and fraught. They push and pull across the Mediterranean, wondering if their love - or lust - can free Zebra from her past. Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.

Sparkling with wit and mischief and brimming with imaginative vignettes and unconventional musings, Call Me Zebra is a riotous, erudite, unpredictable novel about literature, lust and dislocation.
