they're losing their tradition because they turn away from shankaracharya (pbuh) and towards dualism

How is the book?

>[a refutation of advaita]
Huh? How so?
>[further refutation of advaita and monkeyman]
How can this be so since advaita is irrefutable?

>Meyrink was certainly in the current of very numerous traditional ideas, especially of a Jewish source; but, not to mention that this presupposes precisely an initiation (I do not think that he was able to receive a truly Cabalistic initiation, the only thing without doubt to be taken in consideration in a case of the type), the burlesque manner and caricature with which he often presented these ideas leaves a truly sinister impression (a shame that I cannot tell you by letter all the efforts that I made to remediate certain detrimental consequences of The Green Face). Besides, his relations with the school of Bo Yin Ra (whose true origin I am probably the only one who knows, because I noticed that his own disciples did not know it) are not certainly a very favorable indication.
This is what Guenon said about the author.

What does /lit/ think about his books?

Jorjani lacks intellectual integrity. Iranian Leviathan is full of self-aggrandizement and false historical readings. Moreover, he took some ideas from me without giving proper credit. All of that stuff regarding Zurvanism and Mithraism being Faustian and transcending duality in order to establish new modes of being or whatever was largely interpreted from a short story I wrote. He promised to find me a literary agent, but he never got back to me. Instead, he took my ideas regarding Zurvanism and Mithraism, which was conveyed in my short story, and wrote about them Iranian Leviathan acting like he came across it on his own. It should also be noted he calls himself a Satanist and my horror story did have a macabre atmosphere influenced by the likes of Aickman and Ligotti. Note, the way he interpreted it wasn't what my story was necessarily arguing, but it is obvious he took significant inspiration or ideas without giving me proper credit. If someone is deep into following weird fiction, they will figure out who I am.
I think Jorjani does not care for Iranians getting their voices out there or improving their global image. He only cares for his own self-glorification since he's a disingenuous and narcissistic prick. Almost all Iranian "intellectuals" being pushed by the current US establishment have ties to CIA or exist to make Iranians look stupid. Jorjani is no different, having written creepy articles about having connections to CIA before taking them down.
Finally, international relations do kind of affect how people interpret a nation's artistic legacy. A new animated adaptation of Shahnameh was made, but due to sanctions, it could not be put on Netflix or Hulu. You can only watch it on this obscure streaming site:

Granted, a lot of this falls on Iranian peoples' own failure to prevent the madness of Khomeini's rise to power, which was one of the worst things to happen to Iran out of its 2500 year history. MEK/NCRI, which is present being back by KSA/Israel/USA, is even worse than Khomeini though, which is crazy.
