Barbara Malburg's Reviews > Crooked Teeth: A Queer Syrian Refugee Memoir

“I promised you to trust you with my stories, and you promised to trust me in my telling.” And with that, not only does Danny Ramadan wins my trust, but also my heart.
I have a special love for memoirs due to the generosity of its authors to pour their lives into the pages of a book. This memoir was so raw, yet so beautiful because of his writing. Through his words, Ramadan narrates most of his life while transporting us to Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Canada. His book explores his own identity, spanning Syrian, son, middle eastern, queer, lover, journalist, refugee, poet, husband and writer. A must read if you are curious about how all these identities can coexist in the body of such a talented person.
