From an outspoken Iranian author comes a âcharming, powerful novellaâ that is banned in Iran for its depiction of female freedom (Publishers Weekly). âParsipur is a courageous, talented woman, and above all, a great writer.â âMarjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis This modern literary masterpiece follows the interwoven destinies of five womenâincluding a wealthy middle-aged housewife, a prostitute, and a schoolteacherâas they arrive by different paths to live together in an abundant garden on the outskirts of Tehran. Drawing on elements of Islamic mysticism and recent Iranian history, this unforgettable novel depicts women escaping the narrow confines of family and society, and imagines their future living in a world without men. Reminiscent of a wry fable, Women Without Men creates an evocative and powerfully drawn allegory of life in contemporary Iran. Shortly after the novelâs 1989 publication, Parsipur was arrested and jailed for her frank and defiant portrayal of womenâs sexuality. Banned in Iran, this national bestseller was eventually translated into several languages, giving new readers access to the witty and subversive work of a brilliant Persian writer. âUsing the techniques of both the fabulist and the polemicist, Parsipur continues her protest against traditional Persian gender relations in this charming, powerful novella.â âPublishers Weekly
