Golshiri started his literary activities in
1991 with writing short stories and novels, much encouraged by his father
Ahmad Golshiri, a renowned translator, and his uncle Houshang Golshiri, the
renowned writer.
During this time and thereafter, Siamak
published many short stories in different literary magazines including
Adineh, Gardoon, Doran, Karnameh, Zendehrud, Zanan, Kelk and some articles
in different newspapers. At the same time, he translated the first and
second volumes from the 5-volume well-known book "History of Arab
Literature" by Carl Brockelmann for Hadith Publishers and "Index of
Arabic Manuscripts in National Library of Australia", written by Helene
Lobenstein for Fehrestgan Publishers. None of them have been published so
far for different reasons.
