The Persian Language and Iranian Studies Initiative at UBC and the UBC Persian Literature Reading Club, and the UBC Persian Club are hosting their next Literature Reading Workshop with another Persian Women Writer, Mehrnoosh Mazarei. In this workshop, they will listen to her read parts of her flash fictions and analyze them thematically and structurally step by step. Particularly, the workshop pays attention to the feminine perspective in these stories and it will look into the significance of linguistic and narrative choices made in a flash fiction. If you are familiar with her work, it is your chance to meet the author and ask your questions. On the other hand, if you do not know her, this is going to be the best introduction to her work.

Location: online via Zoom
