A Integral Part of Everyday Life

Nooshin Mohajerin Author Interview

Famine is a striking collection of short stories that delves deeply into the complexities of human suffering, resilience, and the endless quest for meaning. What was the inspiration for this collection of short stories?

As I explain in the preface, it is all about human suffering. People who have experienced revolution, war, and famine also suffer from everyday life. The Human soul has always undergone intense frustration. Suffering is an integral part of everyday life for every individual. To be bold and write about it will help people, first, to have a correct understanding of their suffering. Then, they will notice other people challenging different, horrible kinds of suffering.

What experience in your life has had the biggest impact on your writing?

Revolution, war, famine, living as a minority in the big society.

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

The human suffering

What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?

My next book is in the process of being published, since human suffering and pains are diverse and many, the central theme is also about human suffering, but from a different perspective and diversity and different topics from the last three books.

The writer says: “I adopted research and other audience, but some grandiose smallholder literati turn out to be big dams. Again, I remained at a dead end with the high stone walls. Yet again, I altered my way by transforming from Persian language to English thereupon my audience. The new audience did not judge me, since they did not know me, had no history, no prejudice and just read my leaves and discovered the world in which it was.”
