for Teheran
My Uncle Napoleon
Iraj Pezeshkzad
The novel is a representation of the Iranian society of the 1940s. A garden in Teheran becomes the microcosm of modern Iranian society. In essence, the novel is a love story, a love that is constantly endangered by an army of family members and the chaos of their intrigues and racketeering.
Softcore
Tirdad Zolghadr
A well-traveled dandy returns to Tehran thirty years after the revolution to open a gallery there.
The best book on the international art world, written from exactly this point of view. And then in Tehran. A big bow to the giant Mr. Zolghadr.
