11th Zanjan Book Fair Fosters Cultural Vitality

Zanjan – Zanjan novelist Maryam Tavakoli, noting the importance of the Zanjan Book Fair, said: This event can foster cultural vitality, expand people's connection with books, and introduce the province's literary and cultural capacities.

According to the report of Iran's Ambassador of Arjan (Ambassador of Arjan), Maryam Tavakoli expressed her satisfaction with the holding of the 11th Zanjan Book Fair and said: I thank the relevant authorities for providing this valuable opportunity to the city of Zanjan. After a long time, holding a book fair has created a lot of excitement in the city and can provide the basis for cultural growth and development. Visiting the book fair has caused some people who may not be readers to connect with the book unconsciously.

He said about the book fair's responsiveness to the study needs of the audience of this province: If the book fair is limited to the sale of best-selling books, it may only cover a part of the people's study needs. Responding to the diverse needs of the audience requires that specialized books, local literature, especially works of oral history of the province and books by local authors be considered along with best-selling works. A greater variety of booths and a stronger presence of provincial publishers can increase audience satisfaction.

The author of the book "Rahaleh; The biography of Martyr Qiyasali Najafi Rad" emphasized the necessity of continuing to support the promotion of books and reading and added: holding book fairs in a certain period of time should not lead to the end of cultural activities in this area. Providing facilities for buying books, allocating support subsidies to students and creating opportunities for native authors to talk with audiences should be prioritized in cultural programs.

Referring to the position of the works of Zanjani authors in the country's publishing market, Tavakli said: Unfortunately, the works of Zanjani authors are rarely seen in the windows of large bookstores. We need targeted planning to introduce these works. Holding book review meetings at the country level, cooperating with reputable publishers to publish the works of Zanjani authors and supporting the translation of these works into other languages ​​can provide the basis for their introduction at the national and international level.

Referring to the importance of introducing the culture and identity of Zanjan, he said: This issue is one of the most important parts of the cultural activities related to the book fair. Dedicating a special booth to the culture of the province or holding programs such as "Remembrance evening with the elders of Zanjan" can be an opportunity to narrate history, introduce authors, and introduce the dialect and customs of this region. Visitors from other cities should be able to know Zanjan through the books and written works of its authors.

The author of the book "Better than Majnoon" continued by emphasizing the importance of the presence of the writers of the province in the national book fairs: when a Zanjan writer appears in the Tehran International Book Fair and introduces his works to the audience, the cultural and literary capacities of Zanjan are also provided. This presence helps to strengthen the cultural and artistic brand of the city and increases the confidence of writers to present their works on a wider level.

Tavakoli said about the people's acceptance of the works of native authors: Zanjan people always care about their authenticity and identity, but the relationship between the writer and the reader needs to be grounded and build a bridge. Holding literary meetings, group reading programs and the presence of writers in schools and universities can reduce the distance between writers and audiences.

The author of the book "I am known by you" explained his solutions to facilitate people's access to books as follows: Targeted allocation of book purchase subsidies, especially for low-income areas and schools, creating mobile libraries in neighborhoods and holding small local book fairs in different areas of the city can make it easier for people to access cheaper books and safe resources.

Tavakli considered the role of schools and universities important in promoting reading and said: Schools and universities are one of the most important bases for promoting reading. Creating programs such as "reading pleasure call" in schools and providing free study space in universities, away from the worries of grades and exams, can help spread the culture of reading. Public libraries should also become dynamic cultural hangouts and provide a context for interaction and collective activity of book lovers.

He said about the necessity of continuing cultural activities after the end of the book fair: short-term book fairs, especially seven-day book fairs, can be a spark to start cultural activities. To maintain this flow, local book reading clubs can be set up so that enthusiasts can meet monthly even after the end of the book fair. Inviting Zanjani authors to schools throughout the year can also help to keep students connected with books and authors.

In the end, Tavakli said about the criteria for evaluating the success of the book fair: the success of the fair cannot be measured only by the amount of sales; The number of people who start reading new books after the book fair is also important. If holding a book fair leads to the formation of a small book reading group in a neighborhood or a few people get to know a writer from their city and read his works, it can be said that this event has achieved one of its important goals.

The 11th Zanjan Book Fair will be held by the Iran Book and Literature House, with the cooperation of the General Department of Culture and Islamic Guidance of Zanjan Province and the support of the Deputy of Cultural Affairs of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, from 18 to 24 Mehr 1405 at the permanent site of Zanjan International Exhibitions (Caspian).

The long story "In preparation for the unlived life" is a narrative of the interconnected lives of hope, dream, time and desire, each of which is intertwined with love, family and the past. Instead of a clear answer, the novel presents the gap between the lived life and the desired life; Love is the promise of liberation, but its social face is not clear, the relationship is never completely two-person, and the "third person" such as the family and the past is always present. "Hasn't lived" is not the past; It is a future whose relational and temporal conditions for its realization have not yet been provided.
