Fattâne Hâjj Seyyed Javâdi’s Bâmdâd-e khomâr: Trivial Novel or Serious Fiction?

Abstract

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.

Keywords

Contemporary Persian literature, the novel, conceptions of tradition, love, sexuality, and reason
