Last week I interviewed an Up-And-Coming Iranian writer and poet, Ms. Zhila Nooshinfar.
She was born and raised in Mashhad, Iran. She moved to the United States in 2011 and currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona.
Although she writes in Farsi, some of her short stories have been translated into English.
On her list of books, there are such titles as follow:
1- Zan-e-Dovvom (The Second wife)
2- The lost Identity (Hovyat Goshodeh)
In 2006 her book, the Second Wife, won the prestigious "Learned" award in Iran, which is annually awarded to the country's best writers and literary work.
Iranian government of Mahmoud Ahmadi Nejad censored the book and removed all copies of it from the market in Iran.
Since 2015, she has become a full-time writer and works on a couple of new novels.
I conducted this interview in Farsi.
