![]() ![]() ![]() As someone who worked in the social change sector for several years, I appreciate how outspoken Khakpour is on social issues and the question of inequity. While Khakpour is best known for her two lauded novels, Sons and Other Flammable Objects and The Last Illusion, I especially love her incisive essays on culture and identity issues. That panel proved to be prescient of the long-overdue #MeToo movement, which has been peeling back the veils of sexual abuse and predatory behavior at every level of our culture, including the literary realm. I FIRST MET Porochista Khakpour in October 2016 when we were part of a Center for Fiction panel entitled Sexism in the Literary World. ![]()
