Celebrate Now Ruz, our common New Year, with an evening of fiction and memoir by ground-breaking writers from the Afghan and Iranian American diasporas. Acknowledging the deeply entwined histories of our peoples and the overlapping richness of our literary traditions, this reading is inspired by our desire to forge new artistic collaborations in the US, where the breadth and insight of our many stories are most urgently needed.
Join contributors to the forthcoming Anthology of Contemporary Afghan American Literature - Naheed Elyasi, Masood Kamandy, Sedika Mojadidi and Sahar Muradi - along with best-selling novelist Dalia Sofer, debut novelist Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet, and poetic prose writer Aphrodite Desiree Navab, for readings and conversation to welcome in the new year.
This event will be hosted by Zohra Saed, co-director of the Association of Afghan American Writers, and Manijeh Nasrabadi, co-director of the Association of Iranian American Writers.
Sponsored by the Asian American Writers' Workshop (aaww.org), the Association of Iranian American Writers (iranianamericanwriters.org), the Association of Afghan American Writers (afghanamericanwriters.wordpress.com), and Arte East (arteeast.org)
