TEHRAN – American writer and Nobel Prize laureate William Faulkner’s “The Old Man” has recently been published in Persian.

The novel translated into Persian by Turaj Yarahmandi is something of an adventure story. When a flood ravages the countryside of the lower Mississippi, a convict finds himself adrift with a pregnant woman.

“The Old Man” is part of a Faulkner work titled “The Wild Palms”, a collection of two stories “Old Man” and “If I Forget Thee Jerusalem”.

Ketabsaraye Nik is the publisher of the book.
