Nahid Rachlin

In: Biography, Religion

Nahid Rachlin is the award-winning author of four critically acclaimed novels, a story collection, and, most recently, a memoir entitled Persion Girls, which was selected by Christopher Merrill as one of the four best books of 2006. Persian Girls tells the story of Rachlin’s growing up in Iran, beginning at age nine, when she was taken away from the beloved aunt who had raised her. Publishers Weekly calls it a “lyrical and disturbing memoir” that “gives American readers rare insight in Iranians’ ambivalence toward the United States, the desire for American freedom clashing with resentment of American hegemony.” Rachlin currently teaches at The New School University in New York City.
