My
Memoirs, written in Persian by Partow Nooriala—Iranian poet, fiction
writer, and critic—was published in August 2025. In this intimate narrative,
she shares personal and social experiences with honesty and warmth, painting
the portrait of an Iranian-American woman and mother who, within a patriarchal
society and through life’s hardships, chooses clarity over despair. Volume One
reflects her memories of Iran; Volume Two will follow her journey in America.
“Partow
Nooriala, skillfully, beautifully, and with complete naturalness, carries her memories forward—drawing only on her observations and experiences, without
judgment—to portray various moments of history, politics, and society. Through
her sharp and fair depictions, she revives the historical moments shared by her
own generation and ours. One of the most important aspects of the book—though
presented without direct emphasis and seen through the clear lens of Partow’s
perspective—is the powerful presence of the Iranian woman: her tireless effort
to manage life, to build herself, to avoid stagnation, and to remain aware of
her intelligence and capability as a human being, even when she may appear
quiet or silent. In a single sentence, this book may be the most honest
interpretation of contemporary history during a particular period—and an
exceptional contribution to the history of literature, written by an analytical
and critical author.” From Hangameh Abbasi’s review. To learn more and order a

Partow
Nooriala was born in Iran into an educated family. Both of her
grandfathers, her mother, and her eldest brother were poets and literary
figures. From her teenage years, she developed a deep interest in literature,
and to date has published twelve books of poetry, literary and art criticism,
plays, and stories. In 1994, she received the First Prize for Best Critic of
the Year from the jury of the Baran Publishing Literary Competition in Sweden.
