Book Description
With a very cinematic style, Mostafa Mastur explores the pulsing everyday life of an apartment building in Teheran, a metaphysical megalopolis in which the unresolved contradictions of an entire society are condensed. The numerous apartments of the skyscraper, some cramped as cells while others shining of a splendor which is as soulless as their owners’ lives, constitute the backdrop of a play in which the reader becomes the spectator of a shattered world, in which the foundations of all faiths are collapsing. Doors and windows open and close letting filtered traces of that bitter substance that is life. Notwithstanding the continuous religious references, Mastur’s protagonists are prey to an absolute lack of certainty, hurled into the chaos of life to the point of coming close to the brink of madness. Page after page the reader is drawn into a whirl where Soossan, Nozar, Malool, Bandar and all the other anguished monads of this microcosm that symbolizes an Iran unable to find itself, flounder frenetically in search of fortune as a promised land or a lost fatherland.

The Leper's Companions
Author: Julia Blackburn
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307829251
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
In this fascinatingly imaginative novel, Julia Blackburn has decimated all the rules, creating a magical tale that is part fable, part allegory, part present, part past, and wholly genuine and poetic. The unnamed protagonist has recently lost someone she loved, and her solution is to abandon the present, and the overwhelming pain. The seamless narrative lands her in a medieval seaside village where mermaids wash ashore, devils haunt in packs, a child is born with the head of a fish, and where one day, quite out of nowhere, there emerges a sage and wandering leper. The leper leads a small group of the villagers, including the protagonist, on a journey to Jerusalem, a harrowing pilgrimage that compels all the travelers to confront their deepest selves. Exquisite and lyrical, The Lepers Companions is a heart-rending tale by one of our most fiercely original storytellers.
