Alas – life is but a one way street

18-Sep-2009 (7 comments)
Ideals? We all have them. Choices? We are all given. Values? Cherished by each. Dreams? Ours, without question. Destinies? Predetermined. Are they? What is life but an unknown journey through time and space? Play by the rules - we are told; walk along the well-trodden path. Then why the rebellious heart - the wild within? How to tame the untamable? Why reach for the skies? Aspire for the unattainable? Why gamble at the cruel game of chance? Why tempt fate? And play with fire? Why risk? But then one may as well ask - why live?>>>

آسیه در میان دو دنیا

روایت زندگی زن روستایی ایرانی است، در گذرگاه عبور جامعه از سنت به مدرنیته

An Introduction

I am setting out to write a book that opens up like a flower

18-Sep-2009
I am uninterested in writing a book that introduces Iranians to Western audiences, because I think the need is greater for Western audiences to be introduced to themselves. This is not as offensive a statement as it might seem. Any writer has to be interested in introducing his or her readers to themselves. It is supposed to be an intimate relationship, not one in which a shared intellectual interest is the thing keeping it going. I would rather that Western audiences and I have all kinds of trouble, the kind in which I am saying that I know what is really going on inside them>>>
