Tehran at sunset

It is as if the time of unveiling and nudity; instead of rest after the fatigue and noise of the day, there is a trivial noisy chaos in the time of the authentic in Tehran that aggravates the hardship of living there, and reveals the crisis of modern society in a limbo of decline and confusion, between two "considered" narratives about the nature of paradise and hell. This noise caused by a selected transient sector of the miserable city society - which is exposed openly to the reader - does not express random human samples, groping left and right in chaos and disorder, but carefully chosen samples that express an existential anxiety consistent with their ongoing suffering, which they dedicate to their inevitable human deficiencies, and sit in - in the limbo of the earthly city on the edge of hell - from reaching the impossible earthly paradise! In this short story collection; Mustafa Mastoors characters seem to endure the tyranny of fate through logical issues that can be calculated for their probabilities of occurrence, but they are things that an incapable heart cannot comprehend. The only and marginalized escape in the mind of modern humans appears to be the faith of the elderly women, which is manifested strongly in their certainty that the remembrance of God will lessen the weight of the hellfire that this misguided world endures, a world that aspires to a paradise where everything is harvested; but the same toxic desire returns it to the hell of reality.
