"Given the cavernous absence of Afghan women short story writers in English anthologies of Persian literature, it is ground-breaking that we have collections like UNDER A KABUL SKY."
Anna Learn on a new anthology from @InannaPub, tr. by Elaine Kennedy: tinyurl.com/zdsxnj42
And, nice new reviews #Dream#Goodreads: "The plot feels almost too much like the direction our planet is heading due to climate change & consumerism...fairly heavy topics in an entertaining & even humorous way, all while keeping the tension high throughout the book." @InannaPub

"[The stories in UNDER A KABUL SKY] unsettle flattened representations of Afghan women, but also shake up the short story genre in English."
