The Beyond of loneliness written by Hossein Radbooei, an Iranian-Canadian writer and a Vancouver B.C. resident, is a novel that provides a vivid illustration to a horrible period of Iran's recent history and a chance to vicariously understand the life of an important segment of Iranian immigrants. Through the memory's flash back of the appealing main character, the reader travels back to Iran during the eighties. The theme of the book is about the life of an activist who lives, and fights for his survival, during one of the most horrible period of the post -revolution Iran. The author in the beginning of the book introduces Hamid as the main character. In the next few pages, Hamid takes his role as the narrator and it is through his lens that the reader gets the effect of the great background of the past, a past which is dead, yet lives with the narrator through its commanding influence upon the present. The story itself is concerned with the long journey that the narrator, an immigrant from Iran, has had to reach to his new home in Canada; a very common journey for many Iranian immigrants of the Hamid's generation. It is in this journey that the narrator himself personally changes and evolves from a guerilla-like revolutionary young man into a new man; a man who no longer believes in rapid and forceful revolution and political adventurism, and a man who admires many progressive values of the Western democracy and the rule of law in his new home. In so changing, the narrator in the end and in retrospect, and through the lessons of a harsh life, challenges his own past. He began to criticize his own generation and comrades' tendency toward violent revolution and their love for forceful social-political changes.
