Iranian-American expat chronicling what it means to belong everywhere and nowhere. My debut novel, A Thousand Touches, arrives this October.
The olfactory blueprint of memory is incredibly powerful. When Cyrus climbs into the front seat of his father's vehicle in Chapter 1, the dense cloud of pine, leather, and patchouli cologne instantly establishes a world of rigid class and hidden expectations. But beneath the pristine custom-fitted dress shirts is an immigrant father running from the trauma of the 1979 revolution. A Thousand Touches is an uncompromising look at the walls our parents build to protect themselves, and the choices their children make to tear them down. Our publication journey officially goes live in print this October. Follow along by joining the author circle below. https://lnkd.in/eqFFsRpn
