Since last weekend my soul has been haunted by the images of Neda, dying before our very eyes, in the streets of Iran. She could be me, I her. The heartbreak is painful but bittersweet – aren’t we lucky to here and not there? Still our hearts grieve and our humanity empathizes. Pain, injustice, tragedy, oppresion sometimes knows no boundaries.
I thought I would put together a list of books to learn more about, celebrate and honor Iranian culture and shed light on the issues at hand:
Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books by Azar Nafisi
Daughter of Persia: A Woman’s Journey From Her Father’s Harem Through the Islamic Revolution by Sattareh Farman Farmaian
Prisoner of Tehran: One Woman’s Story of Survival Inside an Iranian Prison by Marina Nemat
The Quince Seed Potion: A Novel by Morteza Baharloo
Let Me Tell You Where I’ve Been: New Writing by Women of the Iranian Diaspora by Persis M. Karim
The Septembers of Shiraz: A Novel (P.S.) by Dalia Sofer
Women Without Men: A Novel of Modern Iran by Shahrnush Parsipur
Cry Of The Peacock by Gina B. Nahai
Young and Defiant in Tehran by Shahram Khosravi
Censoring an Iranian Love Story by Shahriar Mandanipour and Sara Khalili
The Stoning of Soraya M.: A True Story by Freidoune Sahebjam
This is great! thank you!
Thanks for the list and thoughtful suggestions.
I also recommend "My Name is Iran," by author and NPR producer Davar Ardalan.
