This summer, I am going to teach myself to read and write in Farsi (I can speak and understand it fluently, but I read at the level of a primary school child) so my mother can lend me great works of Iranian literature and history because I feel like I know woefully little about my own cultural background.

I'm known as Shane to most people, which is a horrible nickname that involuntarily stuck and slowly grew on me, but my name is really Shayane. I have lived in London for my entire life, which means I'm accustomed to scowling on public transport and extremely fluctuating weather. I like pretending to be one of Sofia Coppola's heroines and reading as many wonderful works of literature as I possibly can - I think I'm slightly out of touch with reality. I sound awfully dreary considering my generic obsession with Sylvia Plath and the fact that I'm hopelessly in love with Humphrey Bogart - however, you'll soon learn it's impossible to consider me as seriously as I do as I frequently wish I'm Blair Waldorf and talk incessantly about the Libertines.

I can understand (ma fomidum!) Dari, which is the Afghan variant but I just want to be able to read Ferdowsi’s poetry in its true form.
