"Vagh Vagh Sahab" is a satirical work by Sadegh Hedayat in collaboration with Masoud Farzad. The main idea for the book was Hedayat's, and when he shared it with Farzad, they decided to work together on it. The authors crafted 35 half-finished stories, which they called "ghazieh." In these tales, they playfully distort the language, create unfamiliar combinations, intentionally misspell words, and turn everything upside down to mock and critique the social customs and moral standards of their time. The satire is dark and biting, aiming to provoke the audience rather than just make them laugh. In this work, the only rule is that there are no rules; they write however they please, ultimately creating a piece that had no precedent in Persian literature.
