Satan's Stones
Autor Moniru Ravanipur Editat de M. R. Ghanoonparvar Traducere de Persis Karim, Atoosa Kourosh, Parichehr Moin, Dylan Oehler-Stricklin, Reza Shirazien Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 1996
Satan's Stones is the first English translation of her 1991 short story collection Sangha-ye Sheytan. Often set in the remote regions of Iran, these stories explore many facets of contemporary Iranian life, particularly the ever-shifting relations between women and men. Their bold literary experimentation marks a new style in Persian fiction akin to "magical realism."
Reports from Iran indicated that Satan's Stones had been banned there by government authorities. While its frank explorations of Iranian society may have offended Islamic leaders, they offer Western readers fresh perspectives on Iranian culture from one of the country's most distinguished writers.
