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.
