This article aims to show that Fattâne Hâjj Seyyed Javâdi’s novel Bâmdâd-e khomâr (“The Morning After”) is not a trivial novel, as some literary critics have it, but a modernist, well-written novel that treats modern conceptions of love, sexuality and tradition in an indirect, but still obvious way.

https://doi.org/10.4467/20843933ST.19.033.10976This article aims at showing that Shahriyar Mandanipur employs narrative techniques in his short stories that look like those one finds in post-modernist fiction, but that these narrative techniques are rooted in a modernist world view. There is a truth and a reality in Mandanipur’s short stories – contrary to the post-modern belief – but in Mandanipur’s short stories this truth and this reality is always defined by a narrative and a narrator. Hence one must talk about different angles on truth and reality as demonstrated by the following analysis of Shahriyar Mandanipur’s short story Shatter the Stone Tooth.
