About The Street of Butterflies (Inanna Poetry and Fiction Series)

Mehri Yalfani’s stories in The Street of Butterflies feature Iranian women dealing with displacement, cultural change, and struggles for survival and adaptation as immigrants in North America. At the same time, the challenges they face also reveal the racial, gendered and cultural anxieties of these same individuals who carry with them the biases of their country of origin to the norms of the new land. and “Soleiman’s Silence, and ” and “Felicia, and ” and “If You Were I, and ” and “Geranium Family, and ” and and “Line, and ” all portray many dimensions of the migrant’s strive (or the refusal) to build a home, away from home. The stories that are set in Iran contain the complexity of the social and political context after the revolution that deposed the shah. These stories provide a glimpse of life in post-revolutionary Iran, where the new regime that replaced the old one continues the suppression and prosecution of political activists, only more harshly and mercilessly. Anyone who has lived under a brutal dictatorship can easily identify with the paralyzing fear of Sara and Nazar in the story, and “Books, and ” the agonizing wait of Zinat for her disappeared son in and “Unexpicable Story, and ” or the narratives of the ten-year-old child whose activist parents have perished in notorious prisons of the Islamic regime in and “Where is Paradise? and ” and “Mehri Yalfani’s stories in this new collection, The Street of Butterflies, are part of her growing repertoire of the travails and triumphs (more the former than the latter) of displacement, cultural change, and struggles for survival and adaptation. The stories, at the same time, judiciously reflect the racial, gendered, and cultural hang-ups of these same individuals who carry with them their old land’s biases and fixed norms to the new land. This book is a welcome addition to the genre of works written by authors writing in a language not their own, who have come, or try to come, to terms with the complexity of language and culture. and “–Haideh Moghissi, Professor Emerita and Senior Scholar, York University, Toronto
