Eight Stories by New Iranian Writers

Reading orientation

The anthology listing names Rabihavi beside Ali Mohammad Esfandiar, Naser Zeraati, Akbar Sarduzami, Samad Taheri, Mohammad Reza Safdari, Asghar Abdollahi and Mohammad Mohammadali. It credits Houshang Golshiri’s introduction. This is a multi-author volume, rather than a solo Rabihavi collection. Source 2

In a later interview with Alireza Akbari, Naser Zeraati identifies Rabihavi’s Hofreh among the stories gathered into Eight Stories. That participant account connects the anthology with the story catalogued here as The Hollow. It also offers a route into the Thursday sessions as a practice of reading, discussion and revision.

Publication and language

The retained Ketabnak record describes an electronic copy and its upload date, but does not establish the original book’s printing year or imprint. The upload is not counted as a new literary edition. The contribution and introduction credits remain separate, and no complete anthology text is reproduced here. Source 1 · Source 3
