The publisher’s expression
Emma Rotermund asks Sujet publisher Madjid Mohit about the literature he calls Luftwurzelliteratur: writing with aerial roots. Mohit distinguishes that term from a view of exile concerned only with looking back. He describes authors moving between cultures, finding a place in the present and entering into conversation with other readers and writers. Source 1
The article’s event box announces Rabihavi reading from Söhne der Liebe at Bremen’s Theater am Leibnizplatz on 4 October 2022 at 7.30 pm, alongside Nava Ebrahimi. Asked about the choice of writers, Mohit connects their novels with sexuality and social questions inside and outside Iran. Source 1
A publisher’s view of the work
This is a conversation with the publisher, rather than a new Rabihavi interview or an independent review of the novel. It offers a way into the German edition’s cultural setting. The book’s bibliography keeps the publisher’s first edition and later edition statements in their own sourced records. Source 1
