Abstract

This is a review of a prize-winning novel, entitled in Persian چراغها را من خاموش می کنم by Zoyā Pīrzād. It is the writer's fourth published work and her first novel. The reviewer, Ms. Ojākīlyāns, starts by giving us a detailed synopsis of the story, which is outwardly very uneventful. The whole novel is centred on the everyday life of a middle-class Armenian family, the Āyvāzīyāns, in the southern oil city of Abadan, in the 1960s. The story starts with the arrival of another Armenian family, the Sīmonīyāns, in the neighbourhood, and ends with their rather sudden departure a year or so later. In between, the two families find common ground to mix and to react to one another. The main character is Kelārīs Āyvāzīyān, a 38-year old housewife and mother, whose sole occupation is keeping house and seeing to the day-to-day needs of an indifferent husband, Ārtūš, (a senior oil company employee), and her three growing children, a boy of 15, and a pair of girl twins, aged 11. She is, the one who turns off the lights at night after every one has gone to bed. Her routine is undermined when their new neighbour, Emlī Sīmonīyān, a young divorcé, pays a little too much attention to her and awakens tender feelings in her. And as a result she begins to question the validity of her role as a house-maker, which does not leave her time for the pursuit of her own personal interests.Ms. Ojākīlyāns looks at the novel from every angle and finds it on the whole "fascinating and especially successful in portraying the inner maze of a woman's mind".
