A New Look at Kurdish Literature, Beyond the ‘Selfless, Helpless’ Trope

But already, their website — with its Kurdish Literary Database — is contributing to a wider discussion around and sharing of Kurdish literature. In this brief online chat, publisher and editor-in-chief Aryan Omar Hassan talks about why he wanted to start Henar Press, why they’re looking for experimental literature, and what they’d like to see in their submissions inbox.
