Nazr

By Zara Houshmand
November 22, 2000

It has been so long,
how will you know me?
I am the one standing still in the rush
scanning the screen again and again
trying to find
a believable destination.

If I understood where she started, maybe things could change

From the pointing, I knew we were in luck. Everyone back then knew that house. I was looking for the most famous family in Ahvaz. But that was the old Iran. After fleeing the Iraqi bombs, the family never went back, and sometime between then and now sold the house and that was that.

This particular doctor who built the house was loved and adored by his patients, his students at the medical school, and his family. His greatest accomplishment, though, was his youngest daughter >>> GO TO FEATURE

Opinion

Dictators create heroes
Heroes appear when there is no way to stop the oppressor

By Amirali Baniasadi
November 20, 2000
The Iranian

Heroes, as Nabavi calls them, are extremists who pass speed limits and end in accidents, harming the poor passengers! This perplexing concept needs to be debated further in investigation of the role of agency in the process of social change.

A key issue here is to understand what circumstances give birth to heroes. Ironically, behind every hero is an anti-hero. Heroes appear when there is no way to stop the oppressor, other than by going beyond the ordinary >>> GO TO FEATURE

Short story

The Iranian

She wears no makeup, no time, and the lines in her face are more and more visible each day. She now wears a regular scowl, eyebrows sharpened and at the perpetual 45 degree angle of anger. She always seems annoyed, exhausted and impatient. She almost never smiles.

As she disappears into the kitchen, an elderly gentleman in gray flannel pants, with a frosted grey moustache and two-day beard, wearing a white shirt and a matching gray sleeveless sweater works his way slowly out of the garage door. He looks like a taller more slender copy of Mossadegh

Like many hot-blooded Iranian men out there, I don't like people who do better than me in life. I can picture Majid in the morning, walking around in his designer underwear, wandering if he should wear the Kenneth Cole or the Armani suit. His biggest dilemma of the day is deciding whether to drive the Jag or the Bimmer. What a tough ife.

I, on the other hand, go through my dirty laundry in the morning, trying to find a T-shirt that doesn't smell like a corpse >>> GO TO FEATURE

Trial

Defiance vs. regret
Reformists on trial

By Mehdi Ardalan
November 16, 2000
The Iranian

Prison affects people in different ways. Lengthy incarcerations have produced a range of sentiments among pro-reform activists: defiance, regret, even both. Akbar Ganji's dramatic appearance in his long-awaited trial, charging prison officials with torture, was in stark contrast to Ebrahim Nabavi's sarcastic self-criticism before the notorious Judge Mortazavi >>> GO TO FEATURE
