Pink Cloud

by Alireza Mahmoudi Iranmehr, Sanam Kalantari (Translator)

Each short story is a research about existence; a non-definitive and complete one, but if it reaches to the tipping point of the literature, it would create a mirror that everyone can see himself and his own image of the world in it. All stories in this collection have a world of their own, and yet; a hidden exclusive vision at the bottom layers that connect them all together. Each of these short stories have a different experience facing with a simple or large public concept and writer have tried to rediscover all these concerns and associate them in a tale. The author of this story was born in Iran and lived and wrote there. Stories of a country with terrible stormy events in its contemporary history; a narration that is a reflection of such devastating events: revolution, wars and social destruction and more can be found in the theme and even the structure of these stories. An attempt of a human being who tries to shoot himself out from the rubble and bloom.

I cried with this story.. it was such a long time that a story had not made me this emotional. Specially the part about the mother and how she was feeling towards the end of the story. My heart was broken. The war is freaking stupid.. what the war does to humans is aweful.. I cannot even say enough!! I am wordless.
