Adib Khorram
1984
A man of many talents, the American author Adib Khorram has many skills under his bow, including working in both film and literature. He also has a history of working as a graphic designer, something which has given him a highly visual style and process, which has allowed him to create his stories with a far more vibrant and colorful edge. This, he has taken in to his work, creating an almost autobiographical piece for his debut, whilst keeping it fictional simultaneously at the same time. It is because of this that his work comes across as far more genuine and to the point, allowing the reader to relate to it on an almost intimate level. He also takes a look at his own roots and upbringing, creating something that is entirely universal, allowing readers worldwide to be drawn in to his worlds and his characters.
