زمانی‌ که می نویسم، یعنی آنگاه که جان و روان آبستن از بالا و پایین روزگار، بر ترس از کاغذ سپید چیره شده است، پر التهاب‌ترین و نیز شیرین‌ترین لحظه‌های من است.

"خود تبعید" را هفت سال پیش نوشتم و شمار کسانی‌ که آن را خوانده اند از شمار انگشتان یک دست بیشتر نشده است. می‌خواهم از محاق دفترم بیرونش بکشم و برایتان بخوانمش. پیشاپیش میدانم این هم خود تجربه پر التهاب دیگریست که در آن دم گرم نویسنده با دم گرم مخاطب در هم می‌‌آمیزد، به مانند آنچه که در تماشا خانه اتفاق می‌افتد. این داستان، مانند هر کار هنری یا ادبی‌ دیگر، با مخاطبانش، که قرار است این بار شنونده باشند نه خواننده، زندگی‌ دوم خودش را آغاز خواهد کرد...

"...و حالا سخت نیست با دل خون لبخند زدن...حالا دیگه بعد از دوازده سال نهیب زده شده...آقایون یعنی همین دیگه...می‌ ترسه ولی‌ میره...حالا یه خونه توی اروپا داره...خوب برادرش بود دیگه. حالا چه خوبه که هست...واسه چی‌ دیگه واسه کی‌؟...ولی‌ مجتبی‌ که دوبار رفته ایران می‌‌گه‌ دیگه جای اونا نیست. اون قدر که همه چیز عوض شده. یا اونا عوض شدن؟ یا اونا با اون جا عوض نشدن؟!!...هر وقت پدر و مادرش توی خونه هستن راهرو‌های دراز مترو رو راحت تر میره و میاد...چند روز پیش که زنش زنگ زده بود اه و ناله که شوهر منو نندازین بیرون که ما گشنه میمونیم...دلش می‌خواد با نگاه بدن‌های نقره‌ای این کاجها رو که گاهی سرهای همیشه سبزشونو با بی‌ اعتنایی تکون می‌‌دن بگیره و فریاد بزنه...خدایا چرا مرد نیست؟ آخه پسرا اگه از یه دختری خوششون بیاد راحت می‌رن جلو... (از "خود تبعید")

About us

CaféLitt is not a place; it is a gathering of minds. We are a group of mostly Persian young students, scholars and professionals who gather every Thursday evening around 19h00 to discuss various subjects and share different ideas, ranging vastly from history to science, from literature to fine arts. We started these gatherings on Jan 17th, 2006 with 5 people and have reached an average weekly audience of about 40 people. Each week, one of us takes the responsibility of presenting a topic for about an hour in a subject s/he is intimately familiar with or has an expertise in. Afterwards, the evening turns into a discussion forum and all members of the audience will have an opportunity to ask their question(s) and share their points of view.

Some new and exciting ideas were born out of CaféLitt sessions. We have started a series of monthly meetings called CaféCinema during which a movie is presented and discussed in some detail afterward. This year's program of CaféCinema revolves around the history of Iranian cinema. Some Cinema students hold these sessions (mainly conducted in English) on the last Sunday of each month.

Likewise, CaféLitt BookClub is an activity where people who like books decide to read a book each month and discuss it during a cozy Café session on the second Sunday of every month.

CaféTheatre is a series of semi-rehearsed sessions in which we select a play, divide the roles among different people and read the play from the text in front of an audience. Similar to other CaféLitt sessions, each CaféTheatre session will end with a discussion of that day's play.  

CaféScience and CaféPhilo are our plans for near future. The purpose of CaféScience is to provide a forum for the public discussion and understanding of all scientific findings and ideas, with an emphasis on new, interesting and publicly relevant topics. During CaféPhilo sessions, we will talk about philosophy, its history and all its related aspects.

CaféLitt is pen to all comments, suggestion and new ideas. CaféLitt provides an unparalleled opportunity for learning about culture, science and philosophy in a relaxed and friendly environment, and for sharing your knowledge and expertise with like-minded members of your community.

CafeLitt is a nonpartisan, nonreligious and nonpolitical entity.
