A critic at another writer’s book discussion
IBNA reports Bahman Saki speaking at a reading and analysis of The Sicilian Gang of Abadan at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. His wider account considers urgency, resistance and endurance in the art produced by people living through war in Khuzestan. Source 1
Within that discussion, Saki says that Rabihavi moves beyond epic and myth towards history, connecting literary work with the continuing experience of being war-stricken. This is a critic’s assessment reported at an event about another writer’s book. The report does not name a particular Rabihavi title or establish that he attended the gathering. Source 1
