A short notice, a precise formal observation
The new-books section of Avaye Tabid 32 introduces Daniel and His Father as a Goethe–Hafis publication in Germany. The unsigned notice begins beneath the book’s cover on printed page 247 and continues on page 248. Its placement in a Reza Baraheni special issue does not make Rabihavi a contributor to that memorial dossier. Source 1
The notice describes a novel that begins and ends with nightmares. It argues that the narrator’s past repeatedly interrupts events in the present, while realistic dialogue and surreal dream scenes create the book’s rhythm together. Its favourable judgment concerns how those registers are combined, rather than a new publication date or a separate edition. Source 1
