Khoonegeli literally translated as the mud house, is the result of years of living in the diaspora, nostalgia and desperation to grow roots, an explosion of creativity after many years of frustration and displacement; it is a shining light in the deepest layers of human psyche. I was born in the coastal town of Ramsar, although my family are from Shahsavar, -also known as Tonekabon-, and in the summer of 1975 at the tender age of 7 I was sent to a Catholic Swiss boarding school for a month; I hated it. In 1977 I spent a year in England and I was beginning to make friends and grow roots until the victory of the people’s revolution in Iran culminated in our return home soon after February 1979. The return was short-lived and the start of the war with Iraq in 1980 meant we were out again, this time to Austria where I learnt German for a few months at Goethe Institute; and then back to the UK where I stayed, studied, worked, and married until the eventual return in 2001. My wife Alejandra, an anthropologist, illustrator of yoga books for children who speaks and writes fluent Farsi, now spends the summer holidays here together with our two boys who attend Waldorf Schools in Spain.
