A promenade paved in Goli Taraghi’s lane of memoirs

صفحه نخست شماره 195

IBNA- Shemiran old alleys accommodate the memoirs of a little girl who wore her hair in braids freely swinging in the air as she ran through the winding lanes; the little girl who is today’s well-recognized writer Goli Taraghi.


Our correspondent reported her entering the bookstore, passing by clicking cameras, wearing sun glasses with a smile on her face. She sits herself at a small table prepared for the sixth guest of ‘Ayandeh’ Bookstore, glances at her own books ranging from ‘Shemiran Bus’ ('Le bus de Shemiran') to ‘Winter Sleep’ and turns around greeting other guests like Iraj Parsinejad (PhD), philosopher Dariush Shayegan (PhD) and her young fans.
Goli Taraghi is a familiar name whose books are thoroughly devoted to her childhood memories. Responding to the question about her writing, she says: “I believe art is an inherited trait in many families; like in case of Bach whose entire family were devoted to art. My father was then the editor of ‘Taraghi’ Magazine and this made me find my way since early childhood.”
She still roams in her garden of memoirs and walks through the old alleys of Shemiran saying: “I was fond of writing and literature since childhood and talked like a narrator. I was a chatter box at breakfast table and used to talk till my father left and then I had to run after the bus which ran through Shemiran to get me to school on Sheikh Hadi Street.”
