Shahrnush Parsipur
Praise for Women Without Men
Parsipur is a courageous, talented woman, and above all, a great writer
Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis
Using the techniques of both the fabulist and the polemicist, Parsipur continues her protest against traditional Persian gender relations in this charming, powerful novel
Publishers Weekly
Gracefully brutal... Parsipur writes with the surface simplicity of a tale-teller. But she drops in prosaic, stinging touches of realism - of gossip, envy, suppressed thoughts and misunderstandings
