Hengameh Yaghoobifarah

Tarek Mohamed Mawad
Hengameh Yaghoobifarah’s literary debut novel Ministry of Dreams is edgy, direct, moving and thrilling. The press reviews have been magnificent, not to mention rankings on the bestseller list and 25,000 hardcover copies sold. De Geus just launched the Dutch translation to great acclaim.
Hengameh Yaghoobifarah (they/them), born in 1991 in Kiel, studied Media and Cultural Studies and Scandinavian Studies in Freiburg and Linköping. Ever since they feel very much connected to the Scandinavian languages and cultures. After presenting their literary debut digitally at the Danish Goethe Institut they came up with the great idea to present it in Swedish.
