Jalal Al-Ahmad
Jalal Al-Ahmad was a well-known writer in Persian literature and a man about whom a lot of criticism was directed. Because he was a favourite supporter of Mr. Khomeini, the streets and schools in Iran were named after him. This book attempts to examine his works, what he said and his life using existing documents.
Jalal Al-Ahmad was also a part of our contradictory society, and he was raised in it. He reflected his thoughts in his books, because he could as well have been tired of this contradictory life and looked for a better uniformity. He was against monotony and loved to create changes by moving in different directions to entertain himself. He was indifferent to the results, thus his contradictory works and writings shouldn’t be taken at face value. One must try to draw the truth out of contradictions.

Naked Truths: Adventures in Art
An erotic and often humorous memoir of a male life model in the UK. This is the story of a man’s unconventional upbringing in the Australian outback, a boy who became obsessed with art books, art, and ballet. He was introduced to these creative outlets by his mum, who recognised that as a ‘hyperactive’ kid, he was only ever still when he had his nose in art books. His mum also recognised the need to combine and focus his creative interests with disciplined physical activity. She therefore saw fit to introduce him to ballet classes at the age of six.
The story unfolds, building on the influence of women in his early life, as he completes his ballet exams and moves to live and work in the UK as a dancer, actor, and life model. What was intended as a ‘gap year’ in the UK became his permanent country of residence. An early, fortuitous meeting with a professional female artist in London led him to become immersed in the art world as a professional male life model, initially to supplement his income but mainly to satisfy his first love of expressive, figurative art. This, in turn, led him into a number of erotic and sometimes bizarre sexual encounters and situations with female creatives, in environments where they felt adventurous and secure enough to express and indulge in their own fantasies with him.

Oh Carole
This is a non-fiction love story with a tragic end, played out in the 1960s and 70s in Worcestershire, on the Hampshire-Surrey border, in the old county of Huntingdonshire and in Wiltshire.
On the way, the author sheds light on the Worcester of their courtship in the early 1960s with its pubs, coffee bars, new innovative Chinese and Indian restaurants, funfairs, a jazz club, concerts at the Gaumont Cinema and the Victor Sylvester Dance Studio free sessions on Friday nights, as well as the Cambridge of the mid-1970s and its noted resident Syd Barrett.
The author is not immune to getting sidetracked into waxing lyrical about his other main interests: music and cars.
Carole, with her quirky, childlike personality and lilting West Country banter, could turn any situation into a joyous, enchanting memory, and the author has tried to reflect this in her story. She had her own unique way of dealing with life’s challenges, like marriage, cooking, childbirth, motherhood, her husband’s “career moves” from one end of the country to the other, driving lessons, learning to swim, DIY, and being a parish councillor.
In meeting her final daunting challenge, she showed great fortitude, courage and consideration for others.
