Mahshid Amir-Shahy author/Intellectual
Mahshid Amir-Shahy occupies a place of choice in the gallery of Iranian authors. She started her career early in life and was soon hailed by art critics for her precocious talent as well as the high quality of her Writings. Her refined prose, which became more and more sophisticated from book to book, promotedher to one of the most prominent figures of contemporary Persian literature. Her lucid, colourful, precise, sensitive and inimitable style is as much suited to brush her characters as is in painting their surrounding world. The brilliance of her writing is partly due to her vast vocabulary and generosity of vernacular. She builds her characters up through their hold of the language and their dialogues, constructed with a mastery unequalled in Persian literature of our time. http://www.amirshahi.org/english/e1.htm

Iranian painter, sculptor Iraj Karim-Khan Zand dies at 54 TEHRAN, Dec. 14 (Mehr News Agency) -- Painter and sculptor Iraj Karim-Khan Zand died of cancer at Tehran's Pars Hospital on Thursday. Born in 1952, Zand was a student of Mohsen Vaziri-Moqaddam, one of the pioneers of modern art in Iran. He had also been a university student in Paris. "He could have had a bright future and could have created great works," Vaziri-Moqaddam told ISNA on Friday. He displayed great skill in his metal sculptures, such that his works in this medium were called the "lovely singing of iron". Several members of the Iranian Sculptors Society went to the Pars Hospital after his death to prepare a mold of his face for a sculpture. Tehran's Khak Gallery opened a week-long exhibition of his works on December 6 while he was in the hospital. His funeral procession is to begin in front of the Iranian Artists Forum tomorrow

Yasmin Crowther author of The Saffron Kitchen
Biography Yasmin Crowther is the product of an Anglo-Iranian household (Iranian mother and British father). She says that she "feels like I am a part of both places and not fully understood by either place", and that's one reason she wrote The Saffron Kitchen, her first novel, to try and communicate how difficult it is to bridge both worlds, and yet how fundamentally essential it feels to be able to make that bridge. Her mother, like Maryam in The Saffron Kitchen, grew up in Mashhad, and spent her summers in a village which is the basis of the fictional Mazareh. Like Maryam, her mother also came to England in her twenties; but there the similarity between Crowther's protagonist and her mother ends, she assures us The Saffron Kitchen is entirely fictional. She grew up visiting Iran regularly before the revolution (1979), and visited again to research her book, spending time in Mashhad and also in the village on which Mazareh is based. She
attended Oxford University and is now the director of the London office
of SustainAbility (on extended leave to write The Saffron Kitchen),
which advises clients on the risks and opportunities associated with
corporate responsibility and sustainable development. She lives in
London. can be contacted through : http://www.sustainability.com/about/profile.asp?id=5
