As a celebration of our alumni, each month we will highlight a new book written by one of
Oxford's alumni.
Our May 2025 book is "LIQUID: A Love Story"
by Mariam Rahmani (Pembroke College, 2011).
Mariam Rahmani is a writer and translator. Her fiction, essays, and translations have appeared in Granta, Gulf Coast, n+1, and elsewhere. Her first book-length translation was named Best Book of 2022 by The New Yorker. Rahmani holds a PhD from UCLA and an MFA from Columbia, as well as degrees from Princeton and Oxford. She teaches at Bennington College.
