Touba and the Meaning of Night

From a distinctly Iranian perspective, *Touba and the Meaning of Night* reveals ongoing tension between rationalism and mysticism, tradition and modernity, male and female, East and West. Speaking in an idiom unique to its author and indicative of a new tradition in Persian women's writing, the epic also defies Western stereotypes of Iranian women and Western expectations of Iranian literary form.
