	Tortured Confessions : Prisons and Public Recantations in Modern Iran:9780520216235:Abrahamian, Ervand:eCampus.com
		Bozorg Alavi illustrates the human predicament in prison with poignant vignettes, vivid character sketches, composite eventsâ”part real, part fictionalâ”and frugal brush strokes reminiscent of Ernest Hemingway, Franz Kafka, and John Steinbeck.
		In a subtle and low-key manner, Bozorg Alavi depicts how ordinary individuals confined within narrow walls, often for indefinite periods, try to preserve their sanity, dignity, privacy, hopes, principles, political ideals, and humor (invariably of the fl variety).
		Few have noted that the prison genre arrived in the 1940sâ”thanks to Bozorg Alaviâ”as a form of protest against the state, of resistance against the establishment, and of eyewitness account against the powers that be, including the condescending literati eager to relegate dissenting voices to oblivion.

	Persian Literature: The Persian Novel
		Both creative development and the longevity of some authors, as in the case of Mohammad-`Ali Jamalzada (1895-1997) and Bozorg `Alavi (1904-1997), make categorization and periodization difficult.
		Bozorg Alavi (1907-97) was influenced, like Hedayat, by modern psychological theories and narrative techniques.
		O'Kane as Her Eyes, Lanham, Md., 1989), in which ideology, psychoanalysis, and romanticism smoothly blend into a poetical language, is a coherently depicted love story of an artist, who is a key figure of the underground opposition in the last years of Reza Shah's reign, and an educated girl of aristocratic background.

		They are represented by Bozorg Alavi (1904-1997), who had been incarcerated for four years during Reza Shah's reign because of his Marxist views.
		Unlike most of his contemporaries of this period who used literature as a vehicle for extra-literary purposes, such as Alavi's use of literature for the propagation of his socialist ideologies and Al-e Ahmad's social criticism, Chubak concerned himself primarily with the art of fiction writing itself.
		From a literary, artistic viewpoint, however, the works of Chubak from the 1940s to the 1960s, with his particular attention to the formal aspects of fiction, his craftsmanship, and his objective, impersonal worldview, have greatly influenced the development of modern Persian fiction, as they have opened the way for experimentation.

		Most remarkable is the generous space allocated to women as main characters in several stories and as contributing authors.
		The tragic life of ``Bozog Alavi,'' the mystery of ``The Snake Stone,'' and the story of ``The American Husband'' are all colorful yet authentic depictions of traditional and modern aspects of life in Iran.
		Although arranged chronologically, the stories do not suggest an evolution in Persian literature, in which the short story is still a new genre.

		I read Sadegh Hedayat's The Blind Owl and Bozorg Alavi's Her Eyes with fascination, though for a long time I could not remember what they were about.
		Jamalzadeh, Hedayat, Bozorg Alavi and a host of other fiction writers could have possibly reached much greater heights if their creativity was allowed to bloom and flower in a democratic society.
		I remember seeing Bozorg Alavi at age 90+, literally crying and slapping his forehead, grieving over how he had wasted most of his life working on a German-Persian dictionary to merely survive, instead of writing his fiction.

		The Congress, which was sponsored by the Iranian and Russian cultural centers, was dominated by conservative writers; as the proceedings show, the ex-Rab'a members like Alavi and Hedayat had little room to assert themselves even though the latter was on the board of directors of the Congress.

		In a 1985 interview, Bozorg Alavi describes being thrown into boiling water by Reza Shah's torturers. Yet Abrahamian cites with approval Bozorg Alavi's remark that the torture that he suffered under Reza Shah does not compare to that of later generations.

		That story portrays the tragic life of a prostitute who turns to Imam Reza's shrine for repentance but ends up getting involved with some criminals involved in sex trafficking.
		The sharp blade of censorship has even reached the republication of Bozorg Alavi's famous novel "His Eyes." Inspired by the life of the Iranian artist Kamalolmolk during the Qadjar Dynasty, which ruled Persia from 1781-1925, the novel illustrates a 1940s romantic narrative with a slight political backdrop.
		The Culture Ministry's censorship has not only targeted nonreligious writers but it has even banned the republication of Jalal Aleahmad's book "A Stone on a Grave," in which the author describes the depressing story of his own infertility.
