Ruhollah J’afari’s Richard III Will Not Take Place is an excavation of real historical events.A Question of Madness is a work by Zhores A. Medvedev that addresses the ignorant Stalinists upon Russia’s October Revolution. Any resisting or complaining individual would be labeled as crazy, as sick in the head, or as having a mental disorder. In Medvedev’s book, which is also translated into Persian, Stalin is portrayed as the main puppeteer behind Russia’s intellectual movement and as someone who had authority in removing mass numbers of intellectuals from the scene in the 1930s and 1940s. The truth is that in Stalin’s era, the modern concept of psychoanalysis and even scientific inventions and discoveries about the human brain, nervous system, mind and soul all together found a new meaning, and psychiatric hospitals were rapidly filling up and being emptied to eventually eliminate intellectuals from Russian society.

Very rarely does contemporary Uzbek prose get translated directly into English. Yet English readers have just been given a rare chance to discover the novel The Devils’ Dance (Tilted Axis Press, trans. by Donald Rayfield), by the prominent Uzbek writer and journalist Hamid Ismailov. In it, Ismailov introduces the curious reader to perhaps the most famous modern Uzbek writer, Abdulla Qodiriy. The novel tells the story of Qodiriy, who, like many intellectuals in the Soviet Union in the late 30s, was imprisoned and eventually shot dead. While in jail, Qodiriy attempts to recreate the unfinished novel the KGB has just confiscated, which portrays Oyhon, a poet-queen who lived in the last, grand days of nineteenth-century Turkestan when London and Saint Petersburg were fighting over Central Asia in the Great Game. I interviewed Ismailov about his diverse identities and the place of Uzbek literature in today’s global writing.
