Dehnavi Eds., Mazda, 2019).In the last seven years, Dr. Ganjavi edited, reintroduced, and oversaw the publication of six little-known Persian novels from the 1920s-1940s. These novels shed light on the origins of science fiction, detective fiction, historical and utopian fiction in Persian. He recently finalized and submitted the first critical edition of ""Henriyeh Translation"", the earliest Persian translation of ""One Thousand and One Nights"" (forthcoming with Maniahonar). Dr. Ganjavi's scholarly work focuses on the transnational history of literature, education, translation, print and publication, the cultural Cold War and the politics of archive and historiography in contemporary Middle East.
