Cyrus Shahrad
A self-described ‘jobbing journalist, nowhere novelist and misguided musician’, that doesn’t begin to tell the story of Huck and LWLies contributor Cyrus Shahrad. An ex-native of Tehran, Cyrus is one of the UK’s foremost – hell, one of its only – experts on Iranian youth culture, and can regularly be found reporting from the front line in the country’s capital. He is an award-winning novelist whose short stories are steeped in beguiling lyricism; and an electronic musician of formidable reputation. Somehow he finds the spare time to skateboard too.
