Despite the fact that both writers have come from the southern environment of Iran, Ravanipour is better at representing nativeism in his works, while Pirzad’s approach to his environment is more impartial. Relying on a native narration, both authors are directed to discover women's identity and their vulnerability and loneliness in a male-dominated society.

The self-deprecation that emerges in this book reveals the astonishing fact that Stephen Fry too lacks inner self-assurance - in spite of his cultured, funny, 'Renaissance Man' persona.
