Reading orientation
In the IBNA interview, compiler and translator Hossein Tarafi Alavi describes an Arabic anthology of fourteen stories by fourteen Iranian writers, published by Shahryar in Basra. The account names Rabihavi among the contributors to its first, antiwar section. Source 2
The translator distinguishes two sections concerned with death and life and explains the project as bringing Iranian perspectives to Arabic readers. These are his statements about the anthology. The interview does not identify Rabihavi’s story by title, so it is not assigned to Palm Tree and Gunpowder, Boys of Love or another work by inference. Source 2
