Iranian fiction in ... Israel

       In Al Monitor Elad Zeret reports Persian and Hebrew books to bridge between Iran and Israel, which sounds like a great idea.
       Unfortunately, for now, it looks like a small, one-way street -- but still with a pretty good start by translator Orly Noy:
The two books translated by Noy -- My Uncle Napoleon (by Iraj Pezeshkzad) and The Colonel (by Mahmoud Dowlatabadi) -- were just recently published by Am Oved.
       (I don't have My Uncle Napoleon under review, but I have read it, and it's a (comic) classic (get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk).)
       So I hope there's some Iranian publisher translating Amos Oz, etc. .....
