When your twin brother died before the age of three and you were saved from drowning at the age of four, it is not strange that your life is a continuous and unrestrained movement between the worlds of the dead and the living. All of them are forgotten and remembered only by constant conversation. The son of Hanif Qureshi's book "If it wasn't for Gabriel", his life revolves around these strange childhood crises as if he stopped in childhood; Living in a family where one of the children died and the doctors said it was a miracle that that one survived, in the presence of a mother who had "gained a child and lost a child" and therefore is indifferent and loving at the same time "and from fear That he would not die would not let him live." And of course, a musician, drunkard, drunkard, and bankrupt father whose existence is both a balancing weight and a double crisis in addition to the crises resulting from the accident, illness, and death that destroyed his family! If it wasn't for Gabriel, with the narration of the life of a troubled teenager eager for life, with unusual parents, it is a novel that does not leave humor, although its humor has a sharpness that is especially evident in its many conversations, and bitterness resulting from mental and linguistic confusion for the reader. They have a gift, just like Gabriel's words to Hanna: "...I hope you get lost in sweet dreams."
