Ayatollah's Gaze: A Memoir of the Forbidden and the Fabulous -

Majid Parsa (pseudonym) comes from a mixed Iranian Turkish background and lived in Iran for twenty-nine years. He started writing in 2018. His debut, The Ayatollah's Gaze, is his eye-opening life story of growing up as a gay man in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Majid pulls the covers off an underground world of fabulous characters and wild parties, all taking place among the rallies and chanting for the Ayatollah and his stifling regime. Majid now lives in the UK where he is a practicing doctor, living with his partner and two cats.
