The Dream of Tibet by Fariba Vafi and My Neighbor's Paradise by Nava Ebrahimi

In Fariba Vafi's The Dream of Tibet, the young Scholeh suffers from lovesickness and runs away to her half-sister Schiwa and her husband Djawid. While Scholeh is plagued by her own worries, she begins to question the happiness of others: Is Schiwa happy with her husband? Does Djawid have bigger dreams than a family? What do intimacy, adultery and criticism of authority mean?
Fariba Vafi will read and conduct the conversation in Farsi. Jutta Himmelreich translated.

In Nava Ebrahimi's My Neighbor's Paradise, Ali Najjar believes he has left his past far behind him. He arrived in Germany long ago and is successful as a product designer. Iran, Tehran and his family are a foreign world for him. Then he receives a message from a stranger. And everything he has held on to so far begins to falter.
