This book is a collection of Arash Debestani’s conversations with prominent Iranian writers and translators—an effort to document the oral history of contemporary Persian fiction.
In these interviews, the author seeks to portray a vivid picture of the intellectual and literary developments of recent decades in Iran through the personal and professional narratives of influential figures.
This work is not only a valuable resource for scholars and students of Persian literature, but also offers all those interested in social and political issues an opportunity to become acquainted with the experiences, concerns, and perspectives of different generations of Iranian writers.
