She looks at prose productions in particular, analysing several genres and media. Taking Iran as a starting point, Nanquette explores the forms, structures and functions of Iranian literature within Iranian society.

Recensioner i media

A most welcome, exceptionally valuable and timely contribution to the study of Iranian literature, world literature, comparative literature and diasporic literature. Nanquette's book is grounded in years of fieldwork and travel in Iran, with extensive interviews, data collection and participant observation; there are few more qualified to write on global Iranian literature.
