About this title

Review:

If you asked fifty people on the street in America to describe Iran, many would come up with a similar version of an Arab country led by a shah; they would be wrong. This small book offers a large view of Iran through the eyes of fifteen different Iranians who range from poets to writers to philosophers to film directors. The essays are intensely personal and readable--a good starting point for those who want to learn more about Iran beyond the Western perception. --Trisha Burns (PLA) AAUP Best of the Best Program
