The category of immigration is undoubtedly one of the most challenging issues in recent decades, which has affected various fields such as society, economy and culture. Many contemporary writers, based on the status and importance of the migration phenomenon, have made this issue the basis of their works and have created a special literary approach outside the borders of the motherland with their works. Among the contemporary novelists, Reza Ghasemi should be considered among those who deeply dealt with the issue of migration. From the findings of this research, which was gathered by descriptive-analytical method, it is clear that the author was able to reflect the situation of Iranian immigrants exiled from the homeland and to be the narrator of human life today with its continuous pains and sufferings. Ghasemi's works, while having the features of postmodernist literature, depict a world in which many pillars are born of beliefs, opinions, contradictions and even superstitions of the mind of an Iranian in exile. Factors such as the distress of the narrator's mind and constant fear caused by being away from the homeland, identity crisis and cultural contradiction can be seen in all three novels of the author.
