Reading literary and cinematic events between and beyond American
and Persian literatures, this book questions the dominant geography
of the East-West divide, which charts the global circulation of
texts as World Literature. Beyond the limits of national literary
historiography, and neocolonial cartography of world literary
discourse, the minor character Parsee Fedallah in Herman Melville's
Moby-Dick (1851) is a messenger who travels from the margins of the
American literature canon to his Persian literary counterparts in
contemporary Iranian fiction and film, above all, the rural woman
Mergan in Mahmoud Dowlatabadi's novel Missing Soluch (1980). In
contention with Eurocentric treatments of world literatures, and in
recognition of efforts to recast the worldliness of American and
Persian literatures, this book maintains that aesthetic properties
are embedded in their local histories and formative geographies.
