Forugh Farrokhzad was a Persian poet who died at 32 after having authored four books of poetry and made a documentary film about how lepers are treated. Darznik imagines Farrokhzad's life, sticking to the outline of events like Farrokhzad's marriage, divorce, publications, hospitalization, and death, but creating a lot of the in-between.
