Iranian writer Amir Hassan Cheheltan has arrived in Los Angeles as the 2011 Feuchtwanger Fellow.

Born in Tehran, Cheheltan is a novelist and short story writer whose work has been subject to restrictions and rewritings. Cheheltan has survived two attempts on his life, and in 1999 he fled Iran amid a wave of violence against the nation’s intellectuals. Two years later, he returned to Tehran and has since continued publishing his work. His most recent book, Tehran, Revolution Street, was published in 2009. His upcoming book Killing American in Tehran will be published this August.
