Cover artwork by @louiserosenkrands. . When his English teacher, Miss Holland, lures him home one day, Sepehr Ranjbaranβs miserable teenage life is turned on its head. Tormented by his unrequited love for Nazy, an older girl who dances at his parentsβ restaurant, he turns to the newfound world of lust and wild abandon introduced to him by his teacher for solace and escape, only to find himself spiritually unfulfilled, debauched beyond hope, and racked with guilt. Set in the northern suburbs of Toronto, the city Sepehr loves to hate, Guguli is a coming-of-age tale of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, as well as a window to the heart of Torontoβs Iranian community in the early 2000s. . #iranian #iran #persian #tehranto #toronto #literature #fiction #rockandroll #thesmiths #johnnymarr #morrissey https://www.instagram.com/p/BnEpoH9BIcs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r3uuwvjbjo7o
