Tāksī Savārī: Persian 1402

Taxisari is the first book of Soroush Sehat, which includes 124 stories or microfictions. This genre is also known as "sudden story" because of its pure moments and sudden hits in its heart. Due to this feature, the stories of this collection sometimes convey the same feeling to the reader as when reading a piece of haiku. Sehat, in these short stories, without falling into the trap of clichés, directly confronts the reader with the climax of his narrative and makes him linger. In this book, we are sitting in a taxi with the narrator and we travel a more or less fixed route every day. Along this route, however, new passengers, new drivers and new events are waiting for us every time, and the book's witty and humorous narrator informs us of the events of that day. From the fight between a taxi driver and a couple to the earthquake that occurred that day, from the issue of Maradona's death to the forced migration of young people, from the news of murder or suicide on the newspaper's events page to small and big sorrows and even teenage and young love.
