TEHRAN -- The Iranian novel “We Will Get Used to It” by Zoya Pirzad will appear in the Georgian language in the near future.

Persian Literature Professor at Ivane Javakhishvili State University of Tbilisi Tea Shurgaia is translating Pirzad’s novel “We Will Get Used to It” into Georgian.
In this novel as in her other books, Pirzad focuses on the everyday life of middle-class Iranian women.
Accompanied by translator Mzia Burjanadze, Shurgaia is also translating a collection of Iranian short stories entitled “Fourteen Iranian Sad Stories”.
Short stories by Zoya Pirzad, Goli Tarraqi, Ebrahim Golestan, Jalal Al-e Ahmad, Bahram Sadeqi, Bijan Najdi, and several other renowned Iranian writers were translated for the book.
In her second novel “We will Get Used to It”, Pirzad artistically portrays the loneliness of the middle aged generation in Iran by narrating the life of two middle aged women working in real estate.
The daily confrontation of one of the characters with her daughter and aged mother, who represent the other two generations, manifests how the middle aged generation jammed between traditions of the older generation and modern expectations of the younger.
Zoya Pirzad gained her fame after publishing three collections of short stories during the 1990s. Her first novel, “I Turned off the Lamps”, enjoyed 30 editions in Iran and was translated into several different languages.
