Life

A few years after 1979 Revolution, he started his career as a country schoolteacher. However, soon he was fired from his job due to unfounded political charges. [4] Then he entered Kharazmi University to study history, but literature, as well as creative writing, remained a priority for him. [5] His specialty in history encouraged him to write extensively on Persian folklore and also made him one of the few Iranian novelists using magic realism in his novels: an approach particularly evident in his later works, e.g., The Magical Hat and Copper Statue (novel), That Man Smelled Death Since Then (novel), With Hard Labor (novel) and Localization of Magical Realism in Iran (research). [6] [7] He is now mainly focused on fiction.
