Migratory Dream Birds, author: Simin Daneshvar

Simin Daneshvar forms the first major female face and the most prominent figure of women's literature in Iran. Her novels hold a special place in contemporary Iranian literature. The Migratory Dream Birds was published as part of international short stories by Dar Al-Maraaya, translated by Khairiya Damak Qasim. Despite the negative view directed towards the female character in the majority of Iranian short stories, Simin Daneshvar presented the female character in all its aspects in the story The Migratory Dream Birds. Her writing topics were drawn from real life; hence, her "results" aligned well with the reality of life, as she used to say: "I want to be a witness to the era, just as I want to make reality ideal; this is literature, in my opinion."
