Araz Barsaghian's third novel is the story of a man who cannot believe his separation from his wife, but the reality is harsher than these words. In his third novel, Araz Barsaghian invites the reader to a free ride, and the interesting thing is that the author created it based on his personal and real experiences. Of course, he is in a distant relationship with his real self, because everything is narrated from the angle of a fictional character. Arby, the main character of the novel Tuesday, is a theater director, but after the separation from his wife, he has rarely been able to do work worthy of praise on the stage, or he deliberately does not want to give him what society wants. In this novel, we are on the side of a character who wants to stop playing his role and remove his mask. In the middle of these conflicts, an invisible force constantly pulls him towards Bushehr. But Arby isn't even in a hurry to get there, so he goes on an elaborate and long free ride. He does not buy plane tickets, trains, or buses. He packs his backpack and all the gear a hiker needs to be on the road without paying for it. Wherever he finds, he pitches a tent and if someone invites him to his house, he goes there. The novel describes the events, observations, and emotions of Arbi in this journey so that he finally reaches his final destination. Where he understands, in the words of the famous song of the Lennard Esknard group, who is one of the world's classic rock stars, "Tuesday left and gone, like my darling who passed me by." The mood of the novel and even to some extent the way of telling the story reminds many of the great literary exercises of the history of literature and it is undoubtedly considered a big step forward in the career of Araz Barsaghian. A young man who is unaware of who and what he is goes on an unplanned and indefinite trip to the cities of Isfahan, Shiraz, Abadan, Ahvaz, etc. During the trip, he reviews his life from the past five years until now.
