Rooz-e Khargoosh Book by Belgheis Soleimani

Description

"Rooz-e Khargoosh" (The Day of the Rabbit) by Belgheis Soleimani is a 120-page novel that offers a different atmosphere from what her readers have encountered in her previous works. The novel paints a vivid picture of Tehran, particularly its social and cultural divides. An excerpt from the novel highlights this divide: "Entering Revolution Square from Farvardin Street, the square is as busy as ever. This is the place where I think Tehran is split into two parts—not geographically into north and south, but into northern and southern people. Not even in the sense of northern and southern parts of the city with their ideological and political connotations, but rather a cultural north and south. The faces you see on the southern side of the square, in terms of appearance, facial lines, body movements, and even the aura around them, are different from those on the northern side.
