Simin Daneshvar (1921–2012)
Autor von A Persian Requiem
Über den Autor
Simin Danishvar is one of the most distinguished and popular women writers in Persian. Danishvar was born in 1921 in Shiraz, in the south of Iran, into a middle-class educated family. In 1942 she entered the University of Tehran but left briefly for a career in journalism. Although she was on the mehr anzeigen faculty of the University of Tehran for many years, she was never granted tenure because of her opinions and activism. While she has always maintained a nonpolitical stance, never joining a political party, she has been outspoken. She was a founder of the Writers' Association, which was formed as an alternative to the state-sponsored association and which fought long and hard against the intellectual and artistic censorship of the Shah's era. One of her cofounders was the leading writer Jalal Al-i Ahmad, whom she married in 1952. Her first work, a collection of short stories, was published in 1948, the first such collection ever published by a woman. Her novel Savushun (A Persian Requiem), first published in 1969, continues to be the single best-selling book in Iran, and some literary historians view it as the highest peak of novel writing in Persian. Although Danishvar is strongly identified with women's concerns and experiences, she shows concern for a broader spectrum of the Iranian people as well. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen
