An evening about origin, memory, and the power of the graphic novel

Roya Soraya brings an autobiographical reading with The Wind in My Headscarf to Freiburg that goes far beyond a classic book presentation. The focus is on a journey to Iran, raising questions of identity, family, freedom, and queer self-discovery.

Between visual storytelling and personal truth

The event promises a literary experience that takes the unique language of the graphic novel seriously: text and image coalesce into a narrative about belonging, loss, and the quiet weight of memory. Roya Soraya, known for her feminist perspective and clear imagery, thereby opens an intimate access to a subject of great cultural relevance.

Reading atmosphere with societal depth

The reading at the city library's main branch in Freiburg combines author encounters, conversation, and cultural discourse. The evening is aimed at readers who appreciate autobiographical literature, comics, and contemporary narrative forms. Especially in the quiet atmosphere of a library, the connection of voice, drawing, and personal experience unfolds its unique intensity.

Why this book moves

The Wind in My Headscarf addresses central themes of contemporary literature: migration, origin, self-assertion, and the relationship between personal memory and political reality. This is precisely where the literary quality of this evening lies: the narrative remains concrete, sensual, and personal, while simultaneously opening a larger cultural space.

Anyone interested in graphic novels, socially relevant literature, and compelling readings will experience an evening in Freiburg that resonates. The author invites you to read a personal story as a mirror of a broader present. A visit is worthwhile for those who want to not only hear literature but feel it.
