My Uncle NapoleonHis most famous work My Uncle Napoleon, was published in 1973 and earned him national acclaim and was accoladed by Iranian and international critics alike as a cultural phenomenon. It is a social satire and a masterpiece of contemporary Persian literature. The story is set in a garden in Tehran in the early 1940s at the onset of the Second World War, where three families live under the tyranny of a paranoid patriarch nicknamed Dear Uncle Napoleon. The book was turned into a highly successful television series soon after its publication and immediately captured the imagination of the whole nation. Its story became a cultural reference point and its characters national icons. The book has been translated to English by Dick Davis as well as a number of other languages including French, German, and Russian. Literary critics of the English-speaking world have given it rave reviews. The Plain Dealer asserted in its praise of the book that My Uncle Napoleon "... may do more to improve U.S.-Iranian relations than a generation of shuttle diplomats and national apologies."[2] and The Washington Post claimed that "Pezeshkzad, like any other author of substance, transcends his cultural boundaries".[3] Azar Nafisi, Iranian writer and academic, claims in her introduction to the 2006 English edition of the work that "My Uncle Napoleon is in many ways a refutation of the grim and hysterical images of Iran that have dominated the Western world for almost three decades. On so many different levels this novel represents Iran's confiscated and muted voices, revealing a culture filled with a deep sense of irony and humor, as well as sensuality and tenderness".[4]References1. ^{{cite thesis|last=Khonsari|first=Mehrdad|date=1995|title=The National Movement of the Iranian Resistance 1979-1991: The role of a banned opposition movement in international politics|type=Ph.D. thesis|publisher=London School of Economics and Political Science|url=http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/2837/|page=246}} 2. ^My Uncle Napoleon Reviews collected by Mage Publishers 3. ^My Uncle Napoleon Reviews collected by Mage Publishers 4. ^Introduction to My Uncle Napoleon by Azar Nafisi, The Modern Library Palang-faack Edition, 2006.
