Nassir Djafari met with Gerrit Mai in Frankfurt to talk about his new novel Mahtab to speak. This resulted in a great article for the Frankfurter Neue Presse that makes you want to read it!
Here's a little foretaste:
In his second book »Mahtab«, Iranian-born Nassir Djafari, who like Mahtab came to Germany in the 1950s, deals with his identity again after his debut novel »One Week, One Life«. In his new novel, the 69-year-old, who came to Germany at the age of five and has lived in Wehrheim since 1992 and started writing after his retirement, describes the story of three generations of women: Mahtab's strictly moral mother, who was in physical education for girl saw the decay of all morals. Mahtob himself is trapped in the past, but has already arrived in the modern age in many respects, but misses values such as respect for the elderly and hospitality in his new home.
