Dust That Never Settles: Literary Afterlives of the Iran-Iraq War – A Conversation with Amir Moosavi Amir Moosavi in conversation with Anne-Marie McManus. In his book “Dust That Never Settles: Literary Afterlives of the Iran-Iraq War”, Moosavi explores the massive literary output of the Iran-Iraq War, choosing a comparative approach: In contrasting Iranian and Iraqi writers, it shows the common experiences of war and writing under authoritarian regimes as well as the writers' various entanglements with this war that overlapped and diverged over time.

"Dust That Never Settles" by @amir-moosavi.bsky.social explores how the #arabic & #persian literature keeps revisiting the #IranIraqWar in fiction, challenging state narratives & showing its lasting impact on society, memory, & even the environment.

I think Barthes needs to be challenged within classes more, Frye is not a bad choice, but I have to admit my bias towards liking Selden Lincoln Whitcomb for a wider basis of analysis. And then Percy Lubbock for middle ground. #Literature #Criticism #ComparativeLiterature.
