Najdi, Bijan

Bijan Najdi (1941-1997) was an Iranian writer and poet most known for his collection of short stories, The Cheetahs that Ran With Me. Growing up in north of Iran alongside the Caspian Sea and Elburz mountains, Najdi’s poetry is a direct response to the green and generous landscape against the struggles of modernity and the aftermath of Iran-Iraq war in the post-revolution Iran.
