In the context of cultural exchange between the two countries, one with an ancient and rich culture (Iran) and the other with a younger culture that is full of diversity and dynamism (America), Parichahr Farzam from the Persian section of Voice of America examines the mutual influence of these two cultures. This influence is explored in discussions with a group of Iranian and American writers, researchers, and professors. Dr. Manouchehr Parvin, a poet, writer, and economics professor, has contributed to a cultural exchange by inspiring a young American writer named 'Rob Owandski' to write a book influenced by Iranian culture, which has been nominated for the most prestigious literary award in America, the Pulitzer Prize, this year. In the second part of the interview with the Persian section, Dr. Parvin responds to the question of whether he intends to translate his book into Persian, given that all the heroes in his book are Iranian.
