Having been arranged in the form of letters including pieces of news that get exchanged between two friends residing in two different countries, Mohammad Ali Jamalzadeh’s short story “One-sided Prejudice” is expressive in exhibiting different mentalities and perspectives within the lines of just one text. In this regard, “One-sided Prejudice” lends itself to be examined through drawing upon Hans Robert Jauss’s discussions as to how readers from different communities would bring to the process of the reception of the text their own attitudes, prejudgments, values and interpretations which will shape their horizon of expectations. Thus, the paper will first extract the pre-existent horizons each represented by different characters within the story itself. Having inspected multiple horizons in the text, the paper will attend to the query as to which one of these horizons within Jamalzadeh’s short story is the reader more inclined to get close to, taking into account the fact that readers of the work will bring to the process of reading, their own distinguished horizon of expectations. Finally, the research answers the following: could there be just one valid interpretation of the course of events that take place throughout the narrative or is there a constant fusion of variant horizons?
