I missed most of Niloufar Talebi's interview. The Literature Club of Hastings (in our 100th year) chose Voices of Islam as this year's theme. I went for Rumi and Hafez, partly to learn about Sufism. Would have liked to ask her about Sufism, and about Emory economics professor Manoucher Parvin, who has published a charming fantasy entitled "Dardedel, Rumi, Hafez and Love in New York." Do those poets still beguile the Iranian diaspora? How do her poet view Sufism? Etc.
Thanks for your wonderful programs! Mary Greenly
Very interesting, thank you.
