Industry Reviews "The novel is funny in an uninhibited, larger-than-life style seldom practiced today, but readers with no memory of Iranian history before the Second World War will do well to consult the glossary before embarking on the text, for Uncle Napoleon's paranoia does have a connection, however feeble, with reality." Atlantic Monthly - Phoebe-Lou Adams (08/19/1996)
"In general..., 'My Uncle Napoleon' is a very funny book, and I found myself laughing out loud at many points; but it is also a very long one, and a bit more liveliness in the translation, which is far too genteel, would have brought out more of the earthy humour and swift pace of this entertaining comic novel." Times Literary Supplement - Julie Scott Meisami (11/01/1996)
