Vibrations

A debut collection of short fiction, reflecting with nuance on Iranian-immigrant experience.

In Vibrations, seven short stories hum with the subtle ache of Iranian-immigrant narrator(s) who are searching for their place between two worlds. These stories are a nuanced look at how we attempt to fit into a world that doesn't always fit us, told with the expansiveness of space for imperfection, joy, failure, and comedy.Naz Riahi is an Iranian writer, filmmaker, and performer.
