Fattaneh Haj Seyed Javadi´s debut novel Der Morgen der Trunkenheit published in the Mid-Nineties turned into a bestseller success in Iran. The novel is situated in the Thirties' capital Teheran and tells the tragic love story of the aristocrat Mahbube - who marries below her social standing and becomes deeply miserable. 


With her second publication In der Abgeschiedenheit des Schlafs - a collection of short stories - the nearly sixty year old writer has finally reached Iran´s most recent present. Fattaneh Haj Seyed Javadi here serves us a tale of the wretchedness of her protagonists within the background of Islamic Revolution, Iran-Irak-war and Exile - and unfolds her perspective on a profoundly disintegrated, rootless society.
