Transnational Literature Series at Brookline Booksmith, Reading & Interview
Author Poupeh Missaghi in discussion with Sheida Dayani regarding her new book “Trans(re)lating House One.”
Her book covers the aftermath of Iran’s 2009 election, as a woman undertakes a search for the statues disappearing from Tehran’s public spaces. A chance meeting alters her trajectory, and the space between fiction and reality narrows. As she circles the city’s points of connection–teahouses, buses, galleries, hookah bars–her many questions are distilled into one: How do we translate loss into language?
