Iraj Rahmani is a Canadian-based Iranian writer.
He was born and educated in Iran, where he completed his master’s degree, and taught at the Kerman University, Iran, but he was soon in danger because of his democratic activism.
In 1983 he fled his country, crossing the border to Pakistan and spending four months there, and arrived in Montreal later that year. In 1985 he graduated from McGill University in Library & Information Science, and worked as a librarian with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment for many years.
At the same time, Rahmani pursued his real passion: creative writing. He has published seven books, including poetry, short fiction and three novels. Living in Toronto, recently he has self-translated his 2001 novel into English, titled The Incident Happens as Written. In addition, he has also written essays and translated a few Canadian short stories and plays from French and English to Persian, which have been published in Persian literary magazines and internet sites.
