The Honorable Mayor” is a sociopolitical story with humorous nature. To put it more simply, the author has used satirical prose to express the most serious, and perhaps the most sensitive political, social and even economic comments in the form of a story to the audience. It is the tail of a large city that enters a new period of appointing a new mayor with the death of the past Mayor. “The Honorable Mayor" is allegorical and satirical. A novel that looks at the social, political and economic reality in one of the neighboring countries in the language of parables that criticizes and expresses his corrective perspectives about governance and social code of conduct. The story is set in a never-never land, the characters are nameless and are known only with their social standing and job. Suspense has been used well in the story and the type of the (omniscient) narrator’s expression and prediction of the story pushes the reader from a chapter to the next. The eloquence of narration language, selecting chapters with attractive headings as well as a good viewing angle has helped the writer to be able to narrate a story with explicitly and beauty and of course with fluency. A central message of this story is “the change” in human behavior and mental states.
