Author of Pomegranate Soup Remembered by Her Former Husband

PomegranateSoupCoverIn between being born in Iran in the late 1970s and passing away in solitude in Ireland last spring, perhaps afflicted by mental illness, Marsha Mehran spent some fateful time in New York. From a lovely piece in The Independent by Cahal Milmo:

In the late 1990s, while living in New York, Marsha one night went to Ryan’s Irish Pub on Manhattan’s 2nd Avenue. She was 19 and was engaged in conversation by the bartender, Christopher Collins, who recalls that he had faced a choice of either having her thrown out for being underage or asking her out himself.
