The Baboon Whose Buffoon Was Dead and other stories

Summary

Chubak's preoccupation with the outcasts of the society and depiction of the sordid and grim scenes and moments of their lives is equally visible in his second collection of short stories, antari keh loutiyash mordeh boud (The Baboon Whose Buffoon Was Dead) (1949). In the title story of the collection, Chubak addresses such concepts as freedom and the relationship between the oppressor and the oppressed from the perspective of a domesticated primate.
