Tukhm-e Shar (Evil Egg) by Belqis Soleimani, a landmark of contemporary Persian fiction, vividly portrays the lifestyle, social relations, and folk culture of the Kerman region, especially Baft and Rābor. This study, drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space within a structuralist framework, examines how regional (climatic) literary elements function in the novel. It aims to demonstrate how indigenous components operate across three spatial levels—perceived, conceived, and lived—shaping plot, characterization, and narrative logic. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical method, with data gathered through library research and textual analysis.

Findings show that climatic elements in Tukhm-e Shar are not merely atmospheric; they become structural components in space production and narrative organization. Material and non-material local features—customs, colloquial expressions, proverbs, medical and superstitious beliefs, vernacular architecture, and traditional occupations—intensify class and gender conflicts, represent the tradition-modernity opposition, and shape power relations.

The results indicate that Soleimani, by integrating climatic elements with different layers of space production, offers a model of regional literature in which the locale is neither a neutral nor decorative backdrop but an integral part of the semantic system and a driving mechanism of the plot. Thus, it plays a fundamental role in forming the story’s world and the characters’ destinies.
