"Translations into Persian, such as paperbacks of John Grisham and Agatha Christie are experiencing a boom market. People also read novels by Toni Morrison and Milan Kundera, as well as political books by Anthony Giddens, Henando de Soto, and Francis Fukuyama. Europe and Latin America remain Iran's key cultural reference points, so many Iranians cherish Sir Karl Popper, Jacques Derrida, Jurgen Habermas, and Gabriel García Márquez."

This article reviews Memories of My Melancholy Whores. The author states, "No doubt the work will be clucked at severely by reviewers of a tender age and gender--although perhaps not so severely as they peck at Messers Mailer and Roth and other old cocksmen who lack the protection of Third World cachet. But any actual sin would be committed only if they failed to see that Memories is an elegant, sturdy meditation on regret, isolation, decay, and the inevitable perversity of redemption."
