このコンテンツについて
A rich and varied collection of contemporary short stories, extracts from novels, and poetry that will go a long way toward informing the English-speaking world of the latest developments in Iranian literature.
Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, we have been virtually cut off from that country's culture. Despite severe difficulties imposed by social, political, and economic upheaval, war, repression, and censorship, there has been a veritable cultural renewal in Iran over the past 25 years, not only in literature, but also in music, art, and cinema. Now for the first time we have selections from the work of over 50 men and women from three generations in translation, which goes a long way toward filling that gap.
This sampling - or to use the Farsi term golchine, a bouquet - provides a window onto an important but sorely neglected segment of world culture. We hope it will also serve to awaken further interest in the work and in translations of Iranian novelists and poets. The poetry section is edited and introduced by Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak, professor of Persian literature at the University of Maryland.

A cultural gap has existed between Iran and the western world since the revolution of 1979. In that time however, Iranian artists have developed a rich and unique body of works in varied forms. The editors of Strange Times, My Dear hope to bridge this gap and bring this culture to the English-speaking world through the words of contemporary authors who have worked, often at odds with censorship and hardship, to shape and deepen the Iranian landscape. Peter Ganim’s nuanced performance of these works provides a coherent primer that will open a dialogue for the uninitiated and spark a lively interest in unique segment of international literature.
