Khashayar J. Khabushani’s debut, ‘I Will Greet the Sun Again,’ is about growing up queer in an immigrant family in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Khashayar J. Khabushani was in his mid-20s when he knew that he had a story to tell. At the time, the author of “I Will Greet the Sun Again” was teaching in Pacoima and realized that while he was growing up there were certain events in his life that he would narrate to himself.
“I really wanted to find a way to revisit that young person’s voice that’s inside of me and find a way to put it on the page,” Khabushani explains, “because it feels like a very compelling story, not just that I want to read but that I feel other people like me, or in circumstances like me, could find a lot of value in.”
Since Khabushani came to writing a little later in life, there was a learning curve in writing his novel. “In many ways, it really felt like learning language, actually learning language for the first time,” he says.
