Тирамоҳ, дар даврони ҳосилҷамъоварӣ ба дунё омадаам ва ҳамеша зодрӯзам дар майдони пахтачинӣ ҳамроҳ бо ҷамъи дӯстони донишгоҳӣ ҷашн гирифта мешуд. Имсол низ зодрӯзам баробар бо ҳосили заҳматҳои зиёд дар Омрико дар дунёи донишгоҳии Омрико дар ҳини кор ҷашн гирифта хоҳад шуд.
Ба муносибати интишори тарҷумаи инглисии румони Замини Модарон дар донишгоҳҳои Вошингтун, Бостон, Ҷорҷ Майсон, Йел ва Колумбиё аз адабиёти тоҷик ва адабиёт дар тарҷума суханронӣ хоҳам дошт. Моҳи ноябри имсол дар он сӯи уқёнус дар канори аҳли сухан ва дил бароям як ифтихор аст. Ҳангоми донишҷӯӣ агар медонистам ин ҳама дастовард хоҳам дошт, ин қадар ранҷу афсурдагӣ намекашидам. Аммо хуб роҳро бояд рафт то чашмандоз равшан шавад.

Ин ҳам аввалин нақд аз румони Замини Модарон:

“A complex mixture of ‘bluntness and grace, directness and song’ to which W. S. Merwin attributes the unique tension and power of Thomas Wyatt’s verse attracts me devotedly to the work of Jessica Fisher and Carl Phillips.”

I never was ready to fall in love
In my vocabulary
Everyone should and must always
Rise in Love.

Every summer morning
When I hung my inflamed achy feet
over blue clouds of Samarkand

and play chess:
Bread, silk
Cotton, gold
Poetry and poverty
Bravery, brutality
Face to face
To my land

and every single glance
I miss the chance
To change
The ivory stones of
The game.

S,
Holland

"Birthplace 1"
Did you know,
I was born and banned
In Samarkand.
In that ironically
divine land.

Did you know,
My mother tongue
And suffocating Persian songs
For so many decadents shame
Sounds the same.

Did you know …
Or rather, I should ask
Do you really, care to know …

Here I am, limited and wrapped
by my own hair.
Skillfully trained to be invisible
and necessary as air.

Here I am, master of painfully losing art.
Willingly posing my chest to your daily dart.

Here I am, forty years young,
A woman, seven steps beyond.
Too shy to shine and burning brine
I have learned to wear only in my eye the diamond.

Mines, under my fit.
Rockets, on top of my roof… Ooofff …
I am sorry, am I talking too much
The staff you dont want to hear as such?

Dicta, dictor, dictatorship
is a still high iron wall between our friendship
Should I wait till it also collapses
Or we should keep massaging overlaps…

…But I promise, one day
If North wind will not delay
I hope to dare to say,
That only word I was hiding
Behind my tongue
Since I was utterly young.

and I will end growing in,
and I will start growing wild.

Here I am, too tamed,
And times are up to shout
That only word
I was hiding behind my tongue
Since I was simply strong.

Here I am, storm in a kettle,
Coffee in a cup each morning for you.

Not so hot, not so cold
As golden green tea
Each evening for you.

Here I am, in the frame
Of broken tranquility
of yours eternally guilty of "PEACE".

"Back to Bukhara" (in 335 pages) is the story of Malika, a young and curious Tajik woman. She is seeking peace and solitude in the Netherlands when a letter from a friend takes her back to Bukhara, her hometown in Uzbekistan. The story behind the letter and the friend who wrote it involves a long-lost manuscript and her quest to find it results in a confrontation with the country's national security guards. Although she does not succeed in finding this document, she returns with another, much more important book written by a local writer, her old history teacher, who has suffered interrogation in his land many times for his writings. His book is about a murderous Emir of Bukhara, one who was responsible for executing peaceful messengers from outside the region, as well as brutally murdering many of his wives. Shahzoda Nazarova Samarqandi is a Tajik award winning writer, who writes in Tajik/Persian language and this is her an English debut novel edited by David Maytum.

Самарқанд қадамҷои ҳамаи мост ва ҳар киро ҳам наметалабад. Кош маро биталабад, то боз дубора ин роҳро аз аввал зиндагонӣ кунам… ин бор бо чашмони кушода ва дили пур.
