A Stone on a Grave (Jalal Al-e Ahmad), Chapter 1

Summary

This is a Persian text fragment, seemingly from a literary or theatrical work, that depicts a scene of mockery and physical violence. The passage describes someone being singled out from a group and brutally beaten, with the violent action compared to crushing. The tone is darkly humorous, opening with a jest about waiting for a Hollywood film role before pivoting to the sudden, singular targeting of one person for savage treatment. The work captures a moment of social cruelty with sharp, economical language.
