About the Author

Alireza Kakoee was born in a small village in Kerman province, Iran, but his second name historically comes from a larger tribe in Iran that once governed the western region. Because of this, his family name is still connected to that tribe, which eventually settled where he was born in 1980. His mother says he was born four days earlier than the date on his official record. His name was chosen by his grandmother on his mother’s side. He grew up in that city but completed high school and university in larger cities and began working in the mining industry.He has experienced different aspects of life in varied environments and with diverse friends.He could have continued higher education at the PhD level while working, and in 2022, he moved to Vaasa to collaborate on energy research as a postdoctoral researcher.Since then, he has been living with his family in Vaasa, Finland.

Author Lens

The Power of Observation: Alireza's characters often understand their world not through direct explanation, but by observing, reflecting, and experiencing the environment around them.
A Slow Unraveling of Place: His narratives emphasize a gradual discovery of place, where the true nature of a world is revealed piece by piece.
Tension through Daily Life: The ordinary routines of the characters — walking the streets, performing tasks, and engaging with others — create a subtle tension that builds throughout the narrative.

Story Foundations

Environment as a Catalyst for Change

Alireza's worlds aren't passive settings — they actively influence the characters, transforming their perceptions and actions. The environment is a driving force that propels the narrative forward.

Exploration of Rituals and Power

His writing delves into the everyday rituals and systems that govern societies. These unseen forces shape the characters' experiences, often without them being fully aware of their impact.

Intimate yet Vast Worlds

Alireza's stories combine personal, intimate experiences with expansive, immersive worlds. Readers are invited to explore the internal and external landscapes of his characters, where both their personal growth and their interactions with the world around them unfold.

The road had ended, but the silence had not. The city moved in ways I could not yet follow. And still, I chose to step forward.
