Short fictional surrealistic stories set in Iran. Translated from Persian by Sara Khalili. I vacillate between being impressed by the storytelling and horror at the way women are portrayed.

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
