CONFESSIONS OF A WRITER contains
fifteen pieces of fictional works that
demonstrate the power of imagination,
intelligence and style. These brief stories
offer a unique perspective on life and take
the readers on a journey into a bizarre and
profoundly magical realm.
Tavakkol’s unique sense of humor,
piercing irony and his obsession with
fantasy are masterfully exhibited in every
piece.
Saeed Tavakkol was born in Ahvaz a city
in southern Iran. He immigrated to the
United States in 1983 a few years after the
revolution. His chaotic childhood,
traumatic participation in the Iranian
revolution and the turmoil of the post
revolutionary society engaged in a war
have compelled him to write. His life in the
US and his experiences after September
the 11th have greatly motivated him and
inspired his creativity. He lives in Dallas.
