The American Library of Congress has an exhibit on A Thousand Years of the Persian Book 27 March through 20 September, and that looks pretty good.
Not much American media coverage, however -- no major-paper reviews I could find.
Some decent information at the Library of Congress exhibit site, at least, with quite a few separate pages; see, for example, the one on Modern and Contemporary Literature -- though here, for example, you have to wonder how well anyone will connect 'Maḥmūd Dawlat‘ābādī' with the author of, say, The Colonel (though the Kelidar mention is, of course, good to see).
Books by quite a few of the modern and women writers exhibited here are under review at the complete review; see the index of Persian and Iranian literature under review.
