Sādeq Chubak (Persian: صادق چوبک‎, sometimes Sādegh Choubak; August 5, 1916 – July 3, 1998), was an Iranian author of short fiction, drama, and novels. His short stories are characterized by their intricacy, economy of detail, and concentration on a single theme, leading some to compare them to Persian miniature paintings. Choubak was a naturalist, and his novels reflected the dark side of society.
