A language that鈥檚 like molten glass

Lila Azam Zanganeh was born in Paris to Iranian parents who fled the country during the Revolution. She talks about the creativity that comes from having 鈥榤ultiple identities鈥�, and why she writes in English; a language she describes as elastic and flexible, and which allows her to explore her many selves.
