Reading with Nahid Keshavarz – “Refugee Café”
On March 7th there will be a reading with Nahid Keshavarz and her book “Refugee Café” in the Allerweltshaus (Cologne). It is read in Farsi and German. The anthology “Refugee Café” is a collection of wondrous everyday stories from different people. The focus of the book is life as a migrant with all its pain, joy and passion.

The stories are about married couples struggling with communication problems, breaks in social conventions, dealing with the social medium “Facebook” and cultural misunderstandings.
