Reza Khoshbin-e Khoshnazar (Persian: رضا خوش‌بين خوش‌نظر) is an Iranian novelist who published his first novel, The Gods Laugh on Mondays in 1995 when he was in his twenties.[1] The reaction was hot and some conservative papers accused him of writing blasphemy[2][3] and some zealots compared him with Salman Rushdie.[4] Eventually, men came in the night and torched his publisher book shop, Morghe-Amin Publication House, in Tehran.[5][6][7][8]

Author Khoshnazar has published six other novels in Sweden by Ferdosi Publication House entitled: The Prophet with the Head like a Squash in the Shadow of Dead Clock (in Persian: پيغمبر كلّه كدو زير ساعت مرده), The End of Owl (in Persian:آخر جغد), tetraktus, the Damn Four (in Persian :تتراكتوس، چهار لعنتي),Squint eyed and eyes of crows (in Persian:لوچ ها و چشم آغول ها), Nebraska Syndrome (in Persian: سندروم نبراسکا ), My red ass baboons (in Persian: انتران کون سرخ من)
