Tehrangeles, a novel by Porochista Khakpour, draws from her personal experiences and rejection responses to create a story intertwining satire and the COVID-19 pandemic context.
Inspired by her dislike of Little Women and Louisa May Alcott's similar sentiment, Khakpour constructed Tehrangeles with an all-female, all-Iranian American cast, using satire as a narrative tool.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the novel's setting provided characters in Tehrangeles the opportunity to exhibit unconventional behavior due to the imposed confinement, leading to intricate storytelling dynamics.
