Deliriums of the Exile Years

This is a collection of short stories by Rahnaward Zaryab, the Afghan novelist, journalist and critic who died in Kabul in 2020. As the title suggests, the pieces circle around life far from home: encounters with Europe, questions of reason and morals, and the homesick imagination of an exile, often told with irony and in a deliberately old-fashioned voice. A small volume that shows Zaryab's playful, learned style. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
