Sinopsis

',The Book of Sounds,', released as a dual language edition as part of The Operating System',s Glossarium :: Unsilenced Texts series, is Mehdi Navid&rsquo,s first novelette, translated from the Farsi by Tina Rahimi. The book was not publishable in Iran. The Book of Sounds is an honest exploration of the socio-political context of contemporary Iran, the challenges, hopes and dreams of actual people living in this context, much like the book&rsquo,s characters, among the pages of an episode&mdash, a space whose &ldquo,door&rdquo, is to be eventually &ldquo,turned over as a page. Through Navid',s inventive poetic prose,ásounds evolve into the main filter through which the narration takes place. Throughout the book, the reader will notice an unconventional use of syntax, and a fresh approach to auditory imagery, which is uniquely married to the common logic of everyday words.á
