Aprašymas

Set within the disciplined world of a Japanese taiko troupe, Suga すが is a psychologically powerful novel about belonging, devotion, and the fragile boundaries of the self. As beauty, repetition, and silence shape every aspect of daily life, what begins as artistic dedication gradually becomes something more unsettling. Drawn deeper into a culture of discipline and performance, the protagonist finds the lines between identity and role, freedom and conformity, increasingly difficult to distinguish. Atmospheric, immersive, and deeply introspective, Suga すが explores how the self is transformed-and what remains when it begins to disappear.

Farnaz Khatibi Jafari is a novelist and educator based in Japan. Her work explores identity, memory, and the quiet erosion of the self within systems that demand silence and conformity.

Influenced by years of teaching on consciousness and selfhood, she writes fiction that moves between perception and reality, where identity is not stable but shaped, fractured, and sometimes lost. Her work is rooted in lived experience, observation, and long-term engagement with Japanese performance culture.

Her first novel, Hiro, was published in Iran in 2023. Suga すが is her first English-language novel, written in a voice that reflects both philosophical inquiry and emotional restraint.
