A Compelling Debut Novel About Forbidden Gay Love in Iran
Briefly

"Medusa of the Roses is an explicit work balancing the realities of an oppressive government with the creativity of its citizens to chase after their desires."
"I’ve always liked the idea of raiding elements of my personality and my experiences and combining them with folklore, mythology, and noir."
"It follows a narrator-protagonist who eroticises everything he encounters, navigating Tehran's queer underground amidst strict societal restrictions."
