هشتادودو نامه به حسن شهیدنورایی by Sadegh Hedayat

A candid collection of 82 letters to a close friend, written between Tehran and Paris in the late 1940s and early 1950s, charting daily struggles with censorship, publishing, and money; reflections on ongoing writings and translations; caustic critiques of the cultural and political climate; and moments of humor and intimacy amid deepening isolation. Through sharp wit and melancholy, the correspondence offers an unguarded portrait of a restless intellect grappling with exile, disillusionment, and the creative process in the years leading up to his death.
