Languages & Life Lessons

A memoir written with humor and heart, Languages & Life Lessons recounts the story of Afarin Rava, the only child of a travel-loving professor of literature with a passion for words and languages — a passion that borders on obsession. Afarin tells anecdotes of the challenges she faces and the lessons she learns as she cruises through languages and explores her journey of linguistic discovery and identity.

In a summer writing class, four writers and an illustrator choose to share samples of their works with the world in a tiny anthology titled Summer Samplings... “Samplings” because each piece of writing is a sample of a bigger project in the works.

The Petal's Whisper

The scent of rosewater takes me back to various points in my life, filling me with love and joy. This fragrance, embodying my grandmother's essence, serves as a bittersweet reminder of a timeless and boundless love. This memoir gathers some of the cherished moments I shared with my grandmother.

My Guest Book

Rumi says, “Whatever passes through your heart from the invisible world is just a guest, so entertain and welcome it.” My Guest Book is a record of the guests I entertained in 2023.

Indiana Joes

Indiana Joes is about COFFEE & PIE, the drink and not the baked dish but the Program for Intensive English at Indiana University, where the author taught for six weeks. It's a very short memoir about her seven weeks in Indianapolis in the summer of 2022, the classes she taught, her students, the project she gave her advanced class, the coffee shops she visited, and what she learned about coffee during this time.

Reflections

Accused, threatened, homeless, and hunted, Afarin leaves behind her life as she knows it, the life she has worked so hard to build, and goes to the woods to take refuge in the wilderness. Now, she has to learn to survive, and learn she does. This book is a memoir about the author's four years in the woods: how she makes sense of the events of her life, how she demystifies words, and how her transformation catches her by surprise.
