Against the Grain

Siamak Vossoughi

Siamak Vossoughi writes stories about identity, connection, and belonging. Many of his protagonists are, like him, Iranian-American; some of them strive to find an America they feel comfortable inhabiting. Understanding fascism, redefining masculinity, tracing the contours of the immigrant experience: these are some of the issues addressed in Vossoughi’s new book.
