Narrative Literature in the Field of Self Sacrifice and Martyrdom Should Be Attached Priority

In an interview with Navideshahed; Akbar Sahraee, the selected writer in the 2nd Festival of Provincial Products of “Hozeh Honari”?, spoke about his novel and said: “Due to a kind of cliché that was in writing biographies, I decided to write the biography of “Martyr Ayatollah Dastgheyb”? in a narrative form based on a plot in 2005. This book narrates biography of “Martyr Dastgheyb”? in the form of two notebooks. The story is narrated by two people who are named “Atabaki”? and “Nader”?. They are in fact one person. This person is a member of “Pahlavi”? Army forces (Pahlavi Regime ruled in Iran before Islamic Revolution). He loves Martyr Dastgheyb. He is sent on a mission to influence in Martyr Dastgheyb’s family and gives daily report about their life to SAVAC (Intelligence Service before Islamic Revolution). He starts his job from “File 312”?, the file of “Martyr Dastgheyb”? in SAVAC. This novel has been titled as “File 312”? based on this fact. This novel has a turning form and narrates biography of “Martyr Dastgheyb”? for readers with a drop influence and in an imperceptible way.”?
Sahraee further referred to the effect of different book festivals and said: “Holding such festivals is very good and influential in nature; from the other side, this effectiveness is very short and passes soon. And lack of follow up activities after holding such festivals will result in forgetting the selected books.”?
In continuation, the Writer of “Moonlight Canal”? said: “I suggest that selected books are noticed after the festival too. I believe that required activities should be carried out in order that the selected books in the field of self sacrifice and martyrdom are published again and the writers in this field should be supported.”?

As for the status of narrative literature in the field of self sacrifice and martyrdom, Sahraee said: “Due to some decisions made during recent years, publishers in the field of self sacrifice and martyrdom, “Shahed Publication”? in particular have attached priority to producing sources and establishing “Bank of Subjects”? in the field of self sacrifice and martyrdom. And they have considered producing narrative literature as their second priority. That is while narrative literature is the soul of literature in the field of self sacrifice and martyrdom. And in order to preserve the soul and root of literature in this field, writers and publishers should attach priority to narrative literature.”?
The Writer of the Novel “One Thousand and Nine”? further spoke about supporting writers in the field of self sacrifice and martyrdom and added: “Most of writers who had recently started writing novels and stories in the field of self sacrifice and martyrdom have left this field; because of lack of attention and support. And they have changed the field of their books and stories.”?
In conclusion, Sahraee said: “More attention should be paid to newly started writers in this field. And they should be supported more in order that they do not shift to other fields. And we should open the way for production of everlasting and professional works by paving grounds for wider activities.”?

Note: Akbar Sahraee was born in Shiraz in 1960. He started writing in war and with war. The Novel “File 312”? is his first experience in writing a novel with a subject except war. Sahraee received the First Prize of Story Writing in “Fars Culture”? Celebration. He won this prize with a collection of stories named “Sleepy Mortar Shell”?.
As for his other books, we can refer to “Moonlight Canal”?, “One Thousand and Nine”?, “Sleepy Mortar Shell”?, “I Wish I Were a Little Older”?, “Under the Phosphoric Colored Light”? and “Injury of the Face”?.
Sahraee has won different prizes for his single stories too.
