New Writing By Women of the Iranian Diaspora
The female literary voice is bursting out of Iran with unprecedented force, reflecting lives shaped by the history, exile and immigration of the Iranian people. Karim has edited a stunning collection of poetry, fiction and nonfiction by women of Iranian descent. Most of the authors now live in the U.S. but remember when cars had bumper stickers reading "Iranians Go Home" or "We Play Cowboys and Iranians." Karim and contributors share their stories.
