Refugee café
The anthologyRefugee café is a collection of wondrous everyday stories from different people. The book focuses on life as a migrant with all its pain, joy and passion. The stories by Nahid Keshavarz let the reader slip into the everyday life and the thoughts of a wide variety of characters. The stories are about married couples who struggle with communication problems, breaking social conventions, dealing with the social medium "Facebook" and cultural misunderstandings. Without using heavy language to overwhelm, the author uses her various characters to show numerous facets of people who can no longer live in their home country. Last but not least, she manages to convey the stories so realistically that you can find yourself reading in a chatty café.
