About this author

edit data

Kader Abdolah is the penname of Hossein Sadjadi Ghaemmaghami Farahani, an Iranian writer who also writes in Dutch. Abdolah has lived in the Netherlands since 1988.

He studied physics in Arak College of Science and fled the country as a political refugee in 1988. Today he lives in Delft, writing under a pseudonym made up of the names of two murdered friends. Het huis van de moskee ("The House of the Mosque", not yet translated into English), catapulted Abdolah onto the Dutch bestseller lists.
