Mordi Kermani: I was born to be a writer
2015-9-20
IBNA- Meeting for considering the book ‘You’re Not a Stranger’ by the noted Iranian writer Houshang Moradi Kermani was held on September 15, at Sarv Cultural Center where he said: “I wasn’t born to be a physician or lawyer. I was born to be a writer.”
According to IBNA correspondent, this meeting which was attended by writers, filmmakers and fans was held to take a different look at the oeuvre of Moradi Kermani whose fame mostly lies in writing for children and young adults.
“I can’t actually say why and how I created these works. God helped me to put all I had kept inside in life, on paper,” Moradi Kermani said.
He continued: “I’m the one who arrived in the desert of life and tackled many problems; loneliness, hardship and many other things which are found in my stories. What would I do then? I wanted to fill my lonely life. Did I want to escape from life? Did I want not to become like my father who was mentally ill, or sit in a place like this and be praised? I did not write for any of these reasons, I just wanted to live. Even now, in the hardest situations I take my pen and start writing and get lost in the story – the story of my own self.”
The author of ‘Tales of Majid’ also said: “Writing talent is nothing but strong imagination and a very good memory, as well as more than usual feelings. These are things which cannot be taught. Details might be taught, but I believe writers are like cockroaches; beetles sense by their antennas and so do the writers; they, too, have strong sensory tentacles.”
Stressing that he dealt with his own life more than anything else in his work, he said: “I’ve made use of all what happened in my life for writing my stories. I didn’t write lies, and strongly believed in my imagination to make it believable to the readers, too.
At the end of the ceremony, Houshang Moradi Kermani was awarded a certificate of commendation and a gift which he received from the hands of his wife.

Spring came to the camp without bringing freshness and the first days of New Year began in this camp. We were unaware of the plans that old friends had in this camp when Eid (New Year) came.
