Debut short-story collection in English from acclaimed fiction
writer Ali Hosseini The stories in Dare the Sea explore Iran’s
landscape, culture, and the undercurrent of change affecting its
people—both in Iran and the United States. The stories in the
first half of the collection are set in Iran in the time before and
just after the Iranian revolution of 1979. Each tale discloses the
obstacles rural Iranians lived with on a daily basis and the
exigencies of survival: petty theft, corruption, drug trafficking,
religion, and love. Stories in the second half take place in exile,
where characters are seemingly dropped into American locales like
the Midwest or Hawaii, taking in their situation with only the
survival skills they’ve learned in their own land and enduring
the hardships of being strangers in a new country. Loosely
interconnected by reappearing characters, the stories in Dare the
Sea are strongly linked by the country of Iran, its landscape, its
history, and its hold on its people.
