Beschreibung

SHIRIN by Taqi Bakhtyari (Palaver 2026) moves between Afghanistan and suburban Sydney to follow a Hazara refugee as she navigates one decisive year from a childhood marked by the violent imposition of silence to a young womanhood of intense personal and social upheavals and possibilities. SHIRIN's protagonist, 'Aghai', has a defiant goal to memorialise her friend Shirin by going back to inscribe her name on an otherwise anonymous tombstone. With stark images, the novel bears witness to massacre and expulsion from home, and the enduring trauma of refugees long after they reach places of supposed safety. Aghai finds strength and in her own inner resources, in the wisdom of poet Omar Khayyam and in her bond with Kylie, a new friend who reflects both the present of Australia, its imperfect multiculturalism and echoes of a traumatic past.

Über den Autor

Taqi Bakhtyari is a novelist from Hazaristan, a mountainous region in central Afghanistan, whose literary work explores themes of history, identity, and the quest for meaning. He is the author of two novels and seven short stories published in Persian. Set against a backdrop of entrenched injustice and violence, his narratives feature characters who resist and question prevailing systems of dominance, evolving beyond rigid identities in their quest for freedom and meaning. Since relocating to Sydney in 2014, he has earned a degree in Creative Writing from Western Sydney University and embarked on writing in English. Previously, he studied journalism at Balkh University in Mazar-e-Sharif and worked as editor-in-chief of Negah-e-Naw, a weekly paper in Kabul. His forthcoming third novel, Shirin, marks his English-language debut.
