Modern Persian Short Stories offers 15 works by contemporary writers. Some of the stories are only vignettes, almost local color sketches. Others are complex, full of characters and tense episodes, fully plotted to their harsh denouements.

Others are complex, full of characters and tense episodes, fully plotted to their harsh denouements.
The Western reader might be taken aback by the harshness of these stories, by their lack of sentimentality. Here there is none of the "storybook" quality of a Scheherezade or the magic of old Arabian stories. In the severe gaze of our authors, contemporary Iranian life, country or city, has an immediacy, an arrow sharp honesty, that is almost painful. Tension and frustration seem the twins on the center of the eyeball of attention. In many ways the later stories may even be seen as coded messages, warning of strains too hard to endure, of lives lived so joylessly that cruelty was the only reaction to someone else's imagined happiness.
These are works speaking from a world not wishing to be born but to be aborted. Yet, these are vivid, demanding our interest, and even our sympathy.
