Beskrivelse

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLISTThe first English-language story collection from one of Irans most important living fiction writers (Guardian), a playful, whip-smart literary conjuror: a Kundera or Rushdie of post-Khomeini Iran (Wall Street Journal)In Seasons of Purgatory, the fantastical and the visceral merge in tales of tender desire and collective violence, the boredom and brutality of war, and the clash of modern urban life and rural traditions. Mandanipour, banned from publication in his native Iran, vividly renders the individual consciousness in extremis from a variety of perspectives: young and old, man and woman, conscript and prisoner. While delivering a ferocious social critique, these stories are steeped in the poetry and stark beauty of an ancient land and culture.
