Fiction Books by Authors of Iranian Heritage (Part 1)

Published on 18 June 2026 at 15:53

Welcome to the latest resource series by Underground Bookshelf. This series focuses on literature written by authors of Iranian heritage. War often comes with undermining the humanity of the people and cultures impacted. One way to reaffirm a people's humanity is to engage with the people, culture, and perspectives through literature and storytelling. In this series, you'll find fiction and nonfiction books for children, middle grade readers, young adults, and adult readers.

This resource covers adult fiction. The additional resource lists below offer support for learning about Iranian heritage, protesting the ongoing war, and finding emergency assistance if the rising costs of food, gas, and other goods as a result of the conflict are impacting you or your family.
