A feminist novel dealing with the oppression of women in Iran and their unique struggle for rights. Written by a renowned Iranian author, this book is bound to be viewed as a literary classic on Iran. It is a mesmerizing, wildly imaginative fiction that defies simple description. Featuring two interconnected stories set in contemporary Iran, Shiraz Diaries & Jallad tells the story of a young girl's growing up in pre-revolutionary Iran and her traumatic experiences during and after the Islamic Revolution. Jallad (executioner), on the other hand deals with the hallucinatory world of a novelist working on a fiction -- that focuses on some of the female characters introduced to the reader in the diaries.
This is a remarkable, totally engrossing novel, one of the most imaginative literary works on the post-revolutionary Iran
