Written by Rudolf Pretzler

Inspired by his love for Jack London's writing, Mahbod Seraji decided to start writing himself. In his first novel, Rooftops of Tehran, he aimed to bring a piece of Persian culture and life closer to his readers. As the born Iranian felt that his country was portrayed only negatively in the modern media, especially American news, he wanted to write a story that was different to what people hear every day. It should be something about love and hope that shows the audience what they often disregard, the humans living in Iran.

He personally stated that he wanted the reader to loose themselves with the characters in the alleys at night in Tehran. He wanted his characters to become friends, so the reader understands the problems of the regime, understands the trouble these good people have to go through living in this world. Aimed mainly at the reader from the United States, as Seraji moved there from Iran, the novel has been translated into multiple languages and is lauded as one of the best first works.

From the Novel Readings archives: A very interesting conversation this morning with an Iranian student taking my current summer course had me thinking again about Mahbod Seraji’s Rooftops of Tehran, which I reviewed last year. My student, who plans on becoming a journalist, is passionately interested in telling stories about the experience of living in Iran today, especially for women and children. I was fascinated to hear her account of having read Jane Eyre years ago in a Farsi version which she now realizes was heavily censored or revised–so that, for instance, Jane is a much less rebellious character. She brought out a number of ways in which our 19th-century readings (so far we’ve worked on Pride and Prejudice, Scott’s “The Two Drovers,” and Jane Eyre) resonate for her with very contemporary situations in Iran–in much the way that Azar Nafisi’s Reading Lolita in Tehran (a book she admires) suggests as well. One of the things we also discussed was how novels (both in the 19th-century and today) offer their readers a look at the human side of history and politics, something Mahbod Seraji had as an explicit goal when writing Rooftops of Tehran.

After I posted my review last year, Mahbod Seraji contacted me and we
