Since her first short story collection “Everybody’s Sara” (2004), she has been widely recognised in Iran for her enigmatic and mysterious psychological fantasies which transform yet remain deeply rooted in everyday settings. She has won several literary awards for both her short stories and novels which include “The Fairy of Forgetfulness” (2007), “Cheese Forest” (2008) and “Domestic Monsters” (2016). Fereshteh will be reading from her work and discussing its influences in the context of contemporary Iran.
