Goli Taraghi: The Pomegranate Lady and Her Sons

Rich in characters, both whimsical and deeply poignant, humorous and real, the stories of Goli Taraghi have made her one of the world’s most beloved contemporary writers from Iran. Drawing on childhood experiences in the old money neighborhood of Shemiran in Tehran and, later, adult exile in Paris and visits to Tehran after the Revolution, Taraghi captures, in these finely crafted short stories, the universal experiences of love, loss, alienation, and belonging — all with an irresistible sense of life’s absurdities. Followed by a book sale and signing.
