Zara Houshmand
A Mirror Garden: A Memoir of Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian
The extraordinary and irresistible Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian was born in Persia in 1924. From the enchanted basement storeroom where she played as a girl to the penthouse high above New York City where she would someday live, this is the delightful and inspiring story of her life as an artist, a wife and mother, a collector, and an Iranian.
An enchanting love story, a compelling portrait of the creative spirit, and a celebration of the warmth and grace of Iranian culture, A Mirror Garden is also a genuine fairy tale whose exuberant heroine has never needed rescuing – for by embracing experience, she has always charmed her own life.
Zara Houshmand is an Iranian American writer and theater artist. She lives in Austin.
Monday, December 10, 6 – 8 PM
