My Uncle Napoleon Paperback - 2006
by Iraj Pezeshkzad; Dick Davis (Translator); Introduction by Azar Nafisi
Set in Tehran in the 1940s, this "masterpiece of contemporary world fiction" ("Baltimore Sun") tells the story of a large extended Iranian family presided over by a doddering and cranky patriarch, whom the children nickname RNapoleonS behind his back.
First line
NOTE: The word "Khan," which often follows masculine names, is an honorific used to show respect (particularly from a younger to an older person) or, between equals, affection.
From the jacket flap
The most beloved Iranian novel of the twentieth century
"God forbid, I've fallen in love with Layli!" So begins the farce of our narrator's life, one spent in a large extended Iranian family lorded over by the blustering, paranoid patriarch, Dear Uncle Napoleon. When Uncle Napoleon's least-favorite nephew falls for his daughter, Layli, family fortunes are reversed, feuds fired up and resolved, and assignations attempted and thwarted.
First published in Iran in the 1970s and adapted into a hugely successful television series, this beloved novel is now "Suggested Reading" in Azar Nafisi's "Reading Lolita in Tehran. My Uncle Napoleon is a timeless and universal satire of first love and family intrigue.
