Shahriar Mandanipour, a contemporary and controversial Iranian writer, presents his first novel written in English. Seamlessly entwining two related narratives, Mandanipour unfolds the tale of an Iranian writer attempting to pen a love story set in present-day Iran. Similar to Romeo and Juliet, the writer's two lovers struggle to endure against powerful external forces. Unfortunately, though, the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance furiously attempts to censor the writer's work.… (plus d'informations)
Érase una vez en Teherán, un narrador cansado de novelas tristes y con ganas de escribir una historia de amor feliz, llena de caricias y besos, pero Irán hoy es una tierra donde no existe libertad de expresión. Así, para hablar de amor, el escritor elige a Sara y Dara, dos jóvenes estudiantes que se encuentran por primera vez en una biblioteca y viven su relación a través de los libros que intercambian. Marcando ciertas palabras en las páginas de El pequeño príncipe, La insostenible levedad del ser o de algunos de los mejores poemas de la literatura erótica persa, ellos van tejiendo una nueva y extraña intimidad que comparten con el lector. ¿Lograrán Sara y Dara un final feliz para su aventura? ¿Conseguirá nuestro autor burlar la censura?
I liked the idea of this book more than the book itself. Maybe something was lost in translation, but any clever aspect of the structure was made awkward by its self-awareness. I learned quite a bit about Iranian history and culture, though. ( )
Mandanipour is very popular in Iran but this is his first book to be published in the US. A suprisingly funny novel about a famous Iranian writer trying to write a love story with a happy ending. Shades of Pale Fire and any novel where the characters wriggle out from under the grasp of the author. ( )

The tale of he who a treasure map found that out some gate should you take leave there sits a dome, if your back to the dome you turn and your face fronting Mecca, and an arrow you slight, whither the arrow falls a treasure trove lies. He went and arrows he let fly, so much so that he despaired, he did not find. And this news reached the King. Long-range archers arrows let fly, indeed naught was found. WHen to his Holiness he appealed, unto him it was inspired that we did not bid to pull the bow-string. Arrow in the bow he set, there before him it fell.
