Cyrus Irani, the son of Iranian immigrants, feels a bit out of place in the world. Introverted and cultured, he spends his days in his carpet store on Manhattan's Upper West Side. However, the neighborhood is changing rapidly and his store's rent is about to triple. Despite his mother's insistence that he settle down, Cyrus has yet to find a woman to share his life with. Problems pile up and his chronic passivity does not allow him to face them. Pushed by his mother, friends, and his punk nephew, Cyrus tries to break with his ingrained habits. This ingenious novel is also about New York and the end of a way of life in the metropolis.
