LALEH KHADIVI:WALKINGلاله خدیوی

لاله خدیوی Laleh Khadivi,novelist and film maker

b.1356/1977Esfahan,Iran,into a Kurdish family

Oeuvres:

The Age of Orphans , 2009

The Walking , 2013

...Part 3 of trilogy on life of Kurdish people,to be published

Film: 900 women,2001

Laleh Khadivi immigrated from Iran to Belgium,Puerto Rico,Canada and finally to U.S.

As a writer who belongs more to Edward Said’s exilic consciousness than to any one particular country, I would like to think that literature is appealing because it rises above nationality and nationalism and draws people to places where they can suspend judgment, assumption, and belief. Each day, as I sit to write, I try my best to quiet whatever voices are generally expected of me—expat or refugee or immigrant—and aim to listen instead to the deeper noise that binds me all the way back to Scheherazade, who made a universe of stories that not only humanized her in the eyes of the raging sultan, but also saved her life.

GHAZALEH ALIZADEH(1325/1946-1375/1996)

*Savushun was the first novel ever written by an iranian women writer.USA Today wrote:
Her compassionate vision of traditional folkways surviving amid the threats of modernity,including allied occupation,give her work a resonant universality...
And Washington Post added:
For western readers the novel not only offers an example of contemporary Iranian fiction,it also provides a rare glimpse of the inner workings of an Iranian family...The novel is written from a woman's point of view,by an Iranian woman writer whose life covers one of the most turbulent periods of Iran's history.
