Book Talk: In Praise of Big Noses with Persis Karim

Persis Karim was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area by her immigrant French mother, Evelyne M. Karim, and Iranian father, Alexander Karim. Although she has deep roots in California, she is mindful of the voices and experiences of her parents, and their histories. These stories and experiences have made her cognizant of the power of language, places, and experiences that exist beyond the realm of the present. She is contributing author and editor of three anthologies of literature: Tremors: New Fiction by Iranian American Writers (2013), Let Me Tell You Where I’ve Been: New Writing by Women of the Iranian Diaspora (2006) both published by the University of Arkansas Press. She is also co-editor of A World Between: Poems Short Stories and Essays by Iranian Americans (George Braziller, Inc., 1999).
