Relax, create the right space for yourself to enjoy a series of stories about the landscapes of the art world, political activism, unconventional knowledge, queerness, alienation, friendship, drugs and wisdom; and fiction your own comfort!

Eyn Eyn Eyn is the name of the eccentric storyteller, brought to life by Alireza Abbasy, of “a series of interconnected short stories, in which no rules of storytelling or any particular logic is strictly followed. He tells the story of a fantastical world inhabited by characters ranging from humans to animals, plants, and body parts. The stories follow the parallel worlds of these characters, and critically explore the landscapes of the art world, political activism, unconventional knowledge, queerness, alienation, friendship, drugs and wisdom.” The stories are turned into several podcasts together with a set of illustrations, which will be uploaded sequentially on Fictioning Comfort’s online space every two weeks.

This project has come out of total exhaustion and is an explicit effort in fiction-ing comfort. Now relax, pick a comfortable spot where you have the right space to enjoy a story, and listen the first episode of Eyn Eyn Eyn Stories below, which can be found here originally.

You are more in the mood for reading? Then bring your book out from your pocket, and enjoy the first of Eyn Eyn Eyn Stories from the Pocket Book Series.
