Description
Book SynopsisThe first English translation of an Iranian writer's short story collection.
Trade ReviewThe short story collection Satan's Stones (Sangha-ye Shaytan), like Moniru Ravanipur's other works, explores women's issues through an unusual combination of unabashed, compelling narrative and insight into men-women relationships... The translation and publication of this book into English contributes not only to the introduction of Ravanipur's work to English readers, but also to the further elucidation of issues related to the status of women in todayls Iran." MESA Bulletin "I like to point out to interested students whose reading is confined to English that there is much more contemporary Persian writing available to them than they realize. Satan's Stones is a significant contribution to this body of new writing... Ravanipur is a major writer." Michael Beard, Department of English, University of North Dakota
