The Best Insults in the Shahnameh

Translated by Dibachi and Dibachi

A thousand years of trash talk.

Its champions cannot fight without first trading insults. Its kings write letters that would end any friendship. Its fathers, sons and brothers say things to one another that most families save for the ride home. Ferdowsi gives these exchanges as much craft as his battles, and many of them are very funny. This book collects thirty-six of the best.
