Veteran Iranian author and scriptwriter Houshang Moradi kermani has been nominated for Sweden's 2008 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.... Moradi kermani received the University of San Francisco's 2000 Book of the Year award and the 1992 Hans Christian Andersen Certificate of Honor.....The Tales of Madjid, Mommy's Guest and The Boot are among his best-known works.
>>>I love this GREAT author.
The article does not mention my favorite book of his though:
"shoma keh gharibeh nisteed"
translated as "Believe it or not"
This is a reflection of his own childhood and youth, growing up in Kerman. A masterpiece that touches the heart very deeply.

Even if your Farsi is not that great, find this book, buy this book, and read this book!
