transit - Sam Vaseghi

ISBN 9789186131258

„transit“ as instantaneous state of life and scene of art, is the only literary situation, that bears all qualities for the transformation of all antagonistic implications – both interactions and intra-actions – alongside the curvature of an existence with “no-begin/no-end”: in “transit” from everywhere to “the everywhere” and from ever to “the ever”, the space-time geometry collapses within the dimensions of literary imagination, actuality and reality of life. Values, principles and measures, in their certain societal context, sublimate from a solid state to the fluid ether of the “uncertain reality”, reality in perpetual transition. This state of transition contradicts the foundations of rules and regulations and the significance of tacit implications manifest in the literature of “the unilateral mind versus unilateral society”: death, sin, dirtiness… invade and infect the actual situation of life and arts and elevate it to the aesthetic of “being” in “transit”.

The inner monologues of “obur” (transit) are prosaic memos and extracts in a semi-poetic mode, produced during over twenty years of exile and transit through more than twenty countries. An exile, experienced and explored as societal anathematism, that – although nightmare – provided an artistic unique scene and witness for the scenario of “transit” through everybody, everywhere, everything… determined by the substantial elimination of the “positive/negative” mindset both in literature and life, in imagination and reality. This existential situation that unconsciously, inevitably or just as a matter of basic survival under inescapable conditions of “transit” conducted the writer, the protagonist, through a nearby disciplined deconstruction of antagonisms, hence:

only in “transit”, the question comes up, why nobody loves the own hate.
