Fane Productions | Khashayar J. Khabushani | I Will Greet The Sun Again (FULL EVENT) @faneproductions | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Three Young brothers leave Los Angeles in the dead of night for Iran, taken by their father from their mother to a country and an ancestral home they barely recognise. They return to the Valley months later, spit back into American life and changed in inexorable ways.
Join debut author Khashayar J. Khabushani and bestselling author of Open Water and Small Worlds, Caleb Azumah Nelson, as they celebrate the release of Khashayar’s heartrending novel I Will Greet The Sun Again.
Lyrical and poignant, I Will Greet The Sun Again is an unforgettable portrait of a family being torn apart, and a boy emerging from the ashes. For this extraordinary virtual event, two rising literary stars will discuss the themes of this profound tale, from the ever-changing status as a Muslim in America at the turn of the new millennium to a clandestine love affair that marks the protagonists queer adolescence.
Don’t miss Khashayar and Caleb as they delve into the power of storytelling and the process of crafting a tale marked by both brutality and love.
Khasayar J. Khabushani In Conversation with Caleb Azumah Nelson was originally broadcast on Fri 25 Aug 2023.
