Sofer is also the author of “ The Septembers of Shiraz,” which was selected a New York Times Notable Book of the Year as well, among other accolades. The New York Times Book Review hailed it as “… a master class in the layering of time and contradiction that gives us a deeply imagined, and deeply human, soul.” Set in Iran and New York City, Sofer’s “Man of My Time” is the story of an Iranian man reckoning with his capacity for love and evil. Ahmadi, also a critically acclaimed Iranian author and visiting professor in the MFA program, was the series’ first speaker in October. The reading series is presented by City College’s MFA in Creative Writing Program, where Sofer, who was born in Tehran and moved to New York as a child, teaches. Award-winning author Dalia Sofer discusses her novel “ Man of My Time,” a New York Times Editors’ Choice and Notable Book of 2020, in the second edition of The City College of New York's “ Writers on Iran” reading series on Friday, Nov.
