Fiction Poetry
As a Muslim woman writing in Iran, Simin Behbahani's
collections contain some of the seminal work of
twentieth-century Persian literature.Written over almost
half a century, much of her work reflects the traumatic
experiences that have shaped recent Iranian history:
revolution and war. In a balance of artful inquiry and
shocking realism, Behbahani's language and imagery probe the
depths of political, cultural, and moral oppression. In the
traditional verse of the qhazel, she improvises with meter
to echo and provide new interpretations.
