Join Shida Bazyar for an afternoon at Vernada Books to discuss her International Booker short-listed novel The Nights are Quiet in Tehran.
Translated by Ruth Martin, this captivating, polyphonic novel of an Iranian-German family begins in Tehran during the revolution. A relevant, stirring novel about oppression, resistance, sparking hope, and the desire for freedom.
Shida Bazyar was born in 1988 and studied writing in Hildesheim, and, in addition to writing, worked in youth education for many years. She is the author of The Nights Are Quiet in Tehran—which has won the Blogger Literary Award, Ulla Hahn Prize, and Uwe Johnson Prize, among others, and has been translated into Dutch, Farsi, French, and Turkish—and Sisters in Arms.
