Today is Taghi Modarressi's b-day.He was born 1311 in Tehran ,Iran and entered
Tehran University Medical School(TUMS),became chief editor of Sadaf,a prestigious literary journal,immigrated to The United States for his post doctorate trainings in psychiatry and child psychiatery,was a professor of University of Maryland,and died because of cancer in Baltimore,1376/1977 at age 65.
TAGHI MODARRESSI IS ARGUABLY THE BEST EXAMPLE OF A BILINGUAL WRITER WHO WROTE AND PUBLISHED BOTH IN FARSI AND ENGLISH.HE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF AN ACTIVE SCIENTIFIC/CREATIVE MIND ,A LEFT BRAIN-RIGHT BRAIN PERSON WRITER,LIKE BAHRAM SADEGHI AND GHOLAMHOSSEIN SAEDI,OR BAHMAN SHOLEVAR,ASGHAR ELAHI AND OTHERS,AND LASTED RELATIVELY LONGER IN PRACTICE OF MEDICINE AND WRITING,FROM YAKOLIA OF 1330'S/1950'S TO AZRA OF 1370'S/1990'S.
OF COURSE WITH A 20 YEARS OF BREAK IN BETWEEN!
MODARRESSI MARRIED ANNE TYLER,THE POPULAR AMERICAN WRITER IN 1971.ANNE TYLER WROTE HER MEMOIR OF LIVING WITH TAGHI IN FORM OF A NOVEL IN "BACK WHEN WE WERE GONE. "
