This groundbreaking anthology brings together twenty-seven authors
from a wide range of experiences that offer new perspectives on the
Iranian American story. The authors in "Tremors" represent the
maturing voice of Iranian American fiction from the vantage point
of those who were born and raised in Iran, as well as those writers
who reflect a more distant, but still important, connection to
their Iranian heritage. Altogether, these narratives capture the
diversity of the Iranian diaspora and complicate the often-narrow
view of Iranian culture represented in the media. The stories and
novel excerpts explore the deeply human experiences of one of the
newest immigrant groups to the United States in its attempts to
adjust and assimilate in the face of major historical upheavals
such as the 1979 Iranian revolution, the hostage crisis, and the
attacks of September 11, 2001. The stories set in Iran testify to
the resilience, dignity, and humor of a people rich in history and
culture.
