bipànâhihâye àhmàd pànâhipour (The Vulnerabilities of Ahmad Panahipour) is a collection of the Iranian author Awat Pourabdolahi. Helplessness of Ahmad Panahipoor is a simple but effective book which will make every reader ponder over the problems in the current society of Iran. These are problems which may not be visible to naked eyes, issues which are obscured by the large-scale international political games of the states and the politicians. The author rightly criticizes the indifference of the society towards the sufferings of the homeless and the helpless, the society's insensitivity towards art and poetry, and even insecurity. These are conveyed to the reader through very powerful comparisons and metaphors: a hospital teeming with patients dying of ghastly infections, a stinking dump, a bus full of insensitive and selfish people who do not even understand the language that two peddler kids speak, cockroaches eating a rotting body, and … The title effectively sets the tone of the book by employing an ironic pun on the words "helplessness" and "Panahipoor" [which indicates providing shelter], so the one to provide shelter is himself in need of one.
