Editorial Reviews
Review
A sound and reliable work that ... conveys a good picture of modern Persian literature. ... The more or less concise analyses helps to understand the topic. Even experts, will find Kamshad's learned work instructive. It can be highly recommended to specialists as well as to those new to the subject. -- Jan Rypka, Orientalistische Literaturzeitung
Dr. Kamshad's work fills the need for a much fuller historical and critical survey of the field of Persian fiction. It is to be hoped that the fields of poetry, scholarship, and political and religious literature will one day be similarly surveyed. ... He deserves praise for the faultless and fluent English of this work. -- F.R.C. Bagley, Durham University Journal
The book meets a need, and does so more than satisfactorily. It can be highly recommended to everyone, including native speakers of Persian, interested in recent Persian fiction. -- M.A. Jazayery, University of Texas. Literature East & West
