Different Interpretations of the Semantics of Space in The Gypsy by The Fire (Kouli-ye Kenar-e Atash) by Moniru Ravanipur
This article addresses the potency of semantics of space in Modern Iranian literature by analyzing a novel by Moniru Ravanipur, one of the most distinguished authors of the post-revolutionary period, The Gypsy by the Fire (Kouli-ye kenar-e atash). It argues that spatial dimensions become the constructional axis of the novel, binding together its different components. Just as skillfully Ravanipur operates between classical Persian literary notions of space and Modern psychological and cultural theories of place and travel, proving both the worldliness of her own craft and Modern Iranian Fiction.
