This is the first comprehensive bibliographic treatment of Persian short story collections to appear in any language, and the first major biblio- graphic reference for contemporary Persian literature in many years. While the focus is on short stories in books, the list also includes all other books published by its more than 200 Iranian authors. More than 1800 titles are included, with extensive data on publication history as well as lists of the US libraries who own each book. A full index of personal names, subject names and pseudonyms is also provided, along with biographical notes and additional sources. This book is an indispensable tool for librarians, scholars and serious students of Persian prose in the twentieth century.
