Description:

Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, the United States has been virtually cut off from that country's culture. Despite severe difficulties imposed by social, political, and economic upheavals as well as war, repression, and censorship, a veritable cultural renewal has taken place in Iran over the past quarter-century, not only in literature but in music, art, and cinema. Now, for the first time, we have in translation selections from the work of over forty writers from three generations, both men and women, which go a long way toward filling this gap in our knowledge.
