With a nameless narrator who goes only by M., you see one non-religious man of Muslim heritage in America. This book is weird, absurd, and existential but in really enlightening and astute ways. It covers masculinity and femininity, marriage, fundamentalism, sexuality, and more. It's not a book for everyone but it's just unique enough to make it stand out. Plus it has a bit of a surprise ending.
