Sadeq Chubak (1916–1998)
Auteur van The Patient Stone
Over de Auteur
Sadiq Chubak is one of the leading fiction writers in modern Persian, both in the critical and the popular sense. He was born into a merchant family in Bushihr on the Persian Gulf, an area that figures prominently in some of his stories. Later he moved to Shiraz. Although he was a protege of Sadiq toon meer Hidayat, Chubak has not imitated his mentor but is an innovator in his own right. His influences are both Eastern and Western, from the classical epics and poetry of Persia to European and American novelists such as James Joyce and William Faulkner. His writings include short stories, novels, and plays-rich in satire, but possessing a stark and gloomy tone. Favoring characters from the rural and urban underclasses, he is a master of colloquial language and has upset conservative readers and critics by his use of vulgarities. His social criticism is also strong. Chubak is a modernist writer who uses a minimum of description and places himself in the role of detached observer. Yet, a whole pattern of emotion and situation is revealed within it. Sadiq Chubak's first story collection appeared in 1945. He is perhaps best known for his novel Sang-i Sabur (The Patient Stone), published in 1966. Two other works for which he is especially well known are the novella Tangsir (translated as One Man and His Gun), based on an actual incident that took place in his hometown during his youth, and the one-act play Tup-i Elastik (The Rubber Ball), an extremely biting political satire.
