Extract
Khatereha-ye parakandeh (scattered memoirs), from which “KhanehDi dar asman” (A Home in the Sky) has been selected and translated here, was the first original book of Goli Taraqqi (b. 1939) that appeared in Iran since the publication of her novel Khab-e zemestani (Winter Sleep) in 1973. (“Khaneh3i dar asman” itself had been published earlier in the November 1991 issue of the literary journal Kelk.) In 1979 Goli Taraqqi moved to France with her two sons and began a new phase of her literary career. A French translation of her short story “Bozorgbanu-ye ruh-e man” (The Great Lady of My Soul) won the Contre-Ciel literary award in 1985, and a year later, with her own cooperation, a French translation of Khab-e zemestani (Winter Sleep) was published in Paris.
