Dadafarin, or, The Pessimism

Just released!

My new novel, Dadafarin, or, The Pessimism, is now available on Kindle or in paperback. It is a satire on critical social justice, told from the viewpoint of an outsider.

A Zoroastrian refugee from Iran, Dadafarin arrives on the south coast of England in early summer 2020 to find a Britain he could never have imagined. Instead of the free and fair country of his dreams, he instead finds himself thrust into the fractured world of race and gender politics.  After meeting his new friend and mentor, Dr Anton Venngloss, chairperson of the charity Justice in Exile, Dadafarin soon finds himself a bemused participant in the culture wars.  He attends a demonstration, parties with Antifa, and falls in love, with unexpected consequences.

Follow Dadafarin’s journey as he tries to come to terms with a world he does not understand.

This story of out time was inspired by Voltaire’s satirical novella Candide or, The Optimism. All the events mentioned in the book are factual, woven into a tale of naïvete, lost innocence and redemption. It is available for purchase here on Amazon
