For a new article in taz has Nassir Djafari met Shirin Sojitrawalla in Frankfurt's Palmengarten to talk about himself and his book "Mahtab" to speak.
Here's a little foretaste:
"Djafari tells the story exclusively from Mahtob's perspective. He modeled it on his own mother, he says in an interview. It's not her biography, but she is similar in type to her: reserved and quiet. Her husband Amin also reminds a little of his own father. He was a very caring and loving person. But everything else is literary constructed and invented, says Djafari.”
You can find the complete article here.
Besides that:
"Like my mother: reserved and strong-willed”
