The massive Tehran Book Fair “has pretty much something for everyone: Thomas the Tank Engine, interior decorating, Microsoft Windows programming, How to Kill an Israeli and Jean-Paul Sartre,” according to a report from the Khaleej Times. In fact the children’s book area, notes the report, is “right next to Islamic Jihad‘s and around the corner from those other surprising pillars of the publishing world, Hezbollah and Hamas.” At the Hamas booth they’re displaying “posters featuring mug shots of Palestinians who ‘blew themselves to bits,'” says the report, while at the Islamic Jihad booth, the attendant appeared “slightly frustrated given that most visitors seemed to prefer books about Big Bird next door. He is offering a history of Palestine pamphlets and a rather bloody CD-Rom on ‘Martyrdom-Seeking Operators.'” The Fair continues until 16 May.
