“A beautiful read and full of joyous insights” – Prof Dabashi, Columbia University, New York

“[Shiva Rahbaran’s] study of Mosley’s fiction is distinguished by the intelligence of her appreciation and the sympathy of her approach. It will be of great value to students and common readers alike.” – Allan Massie

“[The book] humanizes a conflict that consists, for the majority of us, of nothing more than a few choice sound bites and several minutes of TV footage.” – Zach Pontz

“Jayegah-e Sokhan, a collection of interviews between Shiva Rahbaran and authors and poets [living and working] in Iran, is filled with topics worth reflecting upon…” – Nimrooz

“Fascinating – Nicholas Mosley is the world’s most brilliant conversationalist and this book catches the flavour of that” – A. N. Wilson
