In the late 1980s or early 1990s, in a desert area in a country in the Middle-East, a boy who has abandoned his past, haunted by the nightmare of working at the brickworks (his parents, like other parents, had handed him over to the brick factory) on the way to escape from the factory - along with his stepbrother, who was a freak - takes refuge in an inn that was a remnant of the Silk Road’s glorious days. The innkeeper, who was a childless old man, considers his arrival a good omen and believes the boy is his savior. A son, fellow, and heir.The boy is introduced to a new world. The inn is a place to meet new people, and in fact, to get acquainted with other worlds. The family’s brutality towards him, severing all relationships with the acquaintances and relatives, and finally his curious mind, pave the way for him to step into a marvelous and spiritual adventure. At the inn, he meets a Dervish called Parishan. He also meets Faraz, an unlucky and lonely guy who has lost everything. He hangs around with a disabled stand-up storyteller. His curious mind and his sensation seeking soul render him restless. He is gradually coming to terms with living in an inn in the desert, but suddenly, a tall and charming stranger comes into his and his buddy’s lives and changes everything. The arrival of the stranger is not unintentional. He is looking for something, something that is related to the boy . . . In the years of the collapse of values, the beginning of transformations in the traditional-modern society and the outbreak of cholera and measles in the backward rural communities. In the crises of death, identity and cognition. The inn becomes a place for contemplation and isolation. The characters, each with an obscure and vague past, are searching for truth and peace in life. Each of them has chosen a lifestyle and lives accordingly.The piecemeal opening narrative of the story, like small streams, gradually merges into a large sea. The sub-narratives run into a mega-narrative and the outlooks of the characters are gradually directed toward a great and hidden truth.The inn is the first book of a trilogy. An independent and complete book with subtle connections to the two other books. It is a simple but complicated novel. Dark, but bright. A tragicomedy. In this story, along with the story’s hero, we get prepared to begin a long and forbidding journey; we go down the road and welcome its hardships.But “does it really worth the trouble?” and “What if the last piece of the puzzle could not be found?"This is the question posed in the story, part of the answer is in the story, and the other part is in the mind of the audience.The novel makes use of a fluent and eloquent storytelling style. The narrator of the story tries to engage the reader in the challenges of the story’s main character and to contribute to the shaping and directing the fate of the young boy.Sadegh Saravi, the author of the book, who has kind of experienced the ordeals of the story, is an unknown Iranian novelist. He is a graduate of political sciences, but his main interest is literature and novel writing. Saravi began writing with penning some short stories. The present novel, which is the first sequel of the trilogy book series, is his first full-length fiction.
