On international level, the case is the same. We have not few books on the sacred defense war. The reason for this lack of activities is on the part of the mass media in the promotion and distribution activities.
Quoting IBNA, Navideshahed reported that: Rahim Makhdoomi, writer, memory writer and fiction writer has said about his first books: The story "Tomorrow My Son Will Come Back" and the memoir "The war of the Barefooted" are my first publications that are published in the art area in 1369.
He added: of my books "Those who Have Gone", "Narges", "Who will Shoot", Malik Kheibar" "The Butterflies of the News Age" have received acclaims in the festivals of the Great Books on the Sacred Defense War, Martyr Habib GHanipour and the great Teachers' Book.
Makhdoomi referred to the styles of writing memories at the present time and added that the future of memory writing is to somehow clear and distinct. He said: one of the great advantages of the Sacred Defense War is its great service to Literature. In this area memory writing is more prevalent among the other genres since there is no need to imagination. Technically the mistakes have decreased since memory writing has passed its childhood period and are now in its youth period. There were not many good works in this genre before but now I can introduce a lot of great works in this genre and the more we progress in time, the number and the quality of these works would become better and better.
This writer of the holy defense war referred to the evaluation of the books and the position of assessment in the sacred war festivals and said: we can say that the categories and elements to be applied to the works of the sacred war in these festivals are almost the same each year. If the evaluator changes the elements to be assessed in a work do not change both at those times when my books were to be assessed and now that I am a member of the referees. In writing memories all the evaluators are seeking great subjects and prose styles. Being good has also personal elements in which personal tastes are also important but not so much so that they show a work great and the others bad.
He was asked to what degree the organizations that are responsible for the sacred defense war are successful and he said: the most active state publishers are: Shahed Publication, The foundation for preserving and keeping the Values of the sacred war, Revayat Fath and the congress of the martyrs' of the province that are seriously involved in publishing sacred defense war books. If we consider each of them as the armies of the literature we feel that the vacuum place of a central base for the literature of the sacred defense war. These publications work under their own authority.
Makhdoomi added: whenever they like they move ahead and whenever they wish they stop and they do not meddle with each other's affairs. This is why you see there are many armies that are about to conquer the sane mountain. While there are many other mountains that need to be conquered are remained unimpaired.
The write of "Tomorrow My Son Will Come Back" said: Some times we need coalition when we are intended to progress quickly but since there is no base coalition is void. We may need a lot of time to plan to achieve the peak of a mountain of literature. IN order to achieve the peak of a mountain we need years of experience, gathering information and then starting to move through different paths and then achievement is possible. Directly starting to go up will go no where even if it is repetitive and though you might dedicate a lot of time to it. This is the fault with the publishers of the scared defense war and if this is solved they can achieve their goals a. s. a. p.
He accounted for the reasons of his coming to write memories instead of writing fiction and said they are both the same for him: fiction and the memories of the sacred defense war are my devices for work such as pencil and paper. Therefore I've never passed through one to the other. Indeed I can not say whether I wrote fiction first or memories. May be the reason for the birth of the "fictitious biographies" or "memories" was this and it was due to their sameness that they become one genre.
Makhdoomi continued: the first book that I wrote in this genre was "Malik Kheibar" which was a combination of fiction and memories on the basis of the life of the General Martyr Mohammadreza Karvar". I wrote this book in 1375 and wrote it for the collection called "the story of the generals" and this collection had the greatest sale among the books of the sacred defense war.
The author of "Narges" has said about holding the festival of the great books on the sacred defense war: holding festivals is good but not enough. The festivals need some beside happenings that are more important than the festivals themselves: such as giving information about the festivals that will lead to advertising the sacred defense war, criticizing the great works in media, having perpetual educational relationships with the authors of the great works and changing the prizes from golden coins to spiritual and experimental travels that will deepen and expand the point of view of the writers.
He said: the creating of a movement on the part of a book is not dependent on the content solely rather it is dependent on the promotion and distribution. Is it not true that a dead writer's books become more important after he dies? Do his works improve in content after he dies? No. It is the mass media that make a book great after their authors die, of course if they have necessary qualities. He said this was the case on international level. We have not few books on the scared defense war. The reason for this lack of activities is on the part of the mass media in the promotion and distribution activities.
Makhdoomi added: we choose great books with great care each year and introduce them to the literary society of our country and of course some years we have some weak points which are naturally. But which of these mass media have made any of these books a literary canon?
This write of the sacred defense war said: I should say that the memory section of the festival is happy to announce a literary renaissance and we'd be happy to introduce great, everlasting and canonical works in the memory section to the society to see what the mass media will do ion this regard.
