Description
In the novel "Hiss" by Mohammadreza Kateb, the narrative is not presented as dictated but rather as the author intends, leaving it up to the reader to interpret the story as they wish. The novel is constructed through various narrators: a police officer who is sometimes compassionate and sometimes cruel, acting contrary to his desires; Jahanshah, a killer, a supposed killer, or even a potential victim who delightfully recounts his lusts and speaks of killing people or being killed himself; and a writer who dies midway through the story, leaving the completion of the novel as a legacy. Other characters intermittently interrupt the narrative, sharing their perspectives, resulting in a story that morphs with each reading and changes according to the number of its readers.
