گلایه یک ایرانی از بازماندگان خاندان پهلوی

برای گریز از بتسازی و مرده پرستی

برخی از دوستانم مرا نکوهش کرده که از مردگان به جز نیکی سخن نگویم و خرده گیری نکنم ولی این نگرش درست نیست زیرا در آن صورت دیگر کسی نباید از کارهای خمینی ایرادی بگیرد زیرا او نیز مرده است. اگر از کاستی این شاهزادهگان سخن گفتم از کینه و سنگدلی نبوده بلکه از فقر کارنامه باقیمانده آنهاست چه بسا اگر بازده شایسته ای از خود به جای میگذاشتند آنها را میستاییدم و به تلاششان افتخار میکردم اما افسوس اینگونه نبوده>>>

The Suicide Note

I leafed through my art books, and my heart beat faster as I discovered a new painting of Chagall that I hadn’t seen before; a man in tuxedo held the hand of a woman in pink, smiling, but the woman was floating in the air and the man didn’t seem surprised by her ability to fly>>>

As a child, you grow up with exaggerated expressions of love such as, “May I be sacrificed for you,” or “You are my liver!” Not to mention the grizzliest accounts of hatred: “If I catch him, I’ll cut him into little meat cubes!” Though this sounds horrific to the non-Iranian, to the rest of us it’s just words and you know that when your dad is “going to kill you,” it just means he’s mildly annoyed at something you did>>>

Freezing into spotless snowflakes >>>
