Jalal Al-e Ahmad (non- ?) awards

       They held the biggest Iranian literary awards -- and, as IBNA reports, No Winner Announced for Jalal Ale Ahmad Award.
       Yes:
The award had no winners in any of its sections; however several works have been announced as praiseworthy work
       If this all sounds familiar ... well , recall last year's headlines: No winner selected for Iran's most lucrative literary awards this year.
       But hey, they might finally be publishing Mahmoud Dowlatabadi's The Colonel (see above), so there's already a potential front-runner for next year's prize .....

       (Still, always good to get an Al-e Ahmad-mention in: see the complete review reviews of his By the Pen and The School Principal, and recall that new e-publisher Restless Books promises to bring out The Israeli Republic soon.)
