Seller's Description:
Like New. In excellent condition! Nice cover & clean pages. From Publishers Weekly\nIranian-born Modarressi's second novel (after The Book of Absent People ) is distinguished by clear, precise and beautiful tone and style, db resonant with meaning. The narrative involves us not only in present-day Teheran but also in its past, its national psychology and the unexpected ways its ancient history survives. The reader follows retired cultural historian Hadi Besharat about the city during a few days in the winter of 1983 when one of his young students is killed in the Iran-Iraq war. The event completes the disorientation that has come upon Hadi not only with age but also with the pressures of living under the fundamentalist regime. His wife Farangu, an actress who, like all women, is no longer permitted to appear on stage, suffers in her own way, as do their neighbors, a retired general, an engineer, a businessman and the dead student's girlfriend, who is now hanging on to Hadi. Hadi's relations with them and his wanderings and return (both physical and psychological) are woven into a subtly spiced, satisfying brewhave changed metaphor to agree with bittersweet (taste) sss with a bittersweet ending. None of it is overtly sociological or political, and all of it is funny and sad and quite wonderful. \nCopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. \n\nFrom Library Journal\nThis precise, carefully drawn novel follows Iranian professor Hadi Besharat's crisis of faith following the death of a favorite student at the front of the Iran-Iraq War. Besharat awaits a response to his brooding letters to the American professor he once studied under, in his measured way pondering his beliefs in view of the new realities he faces. His only son, also in America and unresponsive, and his remote wife, Farangu, offer no support. A well-constructed and intriguing view into one man's soul, this novel is slow-paced and lean on plot but holds rewards for serious fiction readers. Modarressi is the husband of novelist Anne Tyler. \n-Ann H. Fisher, Radford P.L., Va. \nCopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

New York. 1989. August 1989. Doubleday. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0385238797. 279 pages. hardcover. Jacket Photograph by Alex Gotfryd Jacket. Jacket Typography by Casey Koh. keywords: Literature Iran. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In THE PILGRIM'S RULES OF ETIQUETTE, Modarressi has woven an even more beguiling enchantment. Although the novel is not overtly political, post-Revolutionary Iran is a prevailing character that both shapes and defines the story. Hadi Besharat is an inquisitive pilgrim stumbling down life's road, a five-foot-four-inch scholar in a bowler hat. He has taught and lectured around the world, yet is tied to his homeland by the deepest roots of passion and history. But while he has been pondering the existence of heavenly angels and whether the soul is superior to the body, his country has undergone seismic changes. Withdrawing into his books and studies, Hadi Besharat constructs a fragile world, impervious ever to the reality under his own roof. His wife longs to escape from the stifling life he has imposed upon her. His only son lives in America and has no appreciation of his father's concerns. Still, Hadi Besharat's ivory tower is undisturbed until his prize student is killed in the Iran-Iraq War. Then the alien new order intrudes with a violent force that shatters his fondest illusions and threatens his marriage, his family, even the intellectual life he cherishes. Poignant and arresting, THE PILGRIM'S RULES OF ETIQUETTE is a provocative story of crisis and faith, change and continuity. inventory #22203.
