Censoring an Iranian Love Story | 
I've been MIA for awhile, I'm looking at changing jobs and feeling kind of conflicted. I'm hoping to get back to reading more today!
And I am loving this book! The author has a way of addressing the reader and also his main characters with such wit. This is one of the better pieces of contemporary satire I've read in a long time. I anticipate this being one of my top reads this year.
Morning reading 📖
The bold section is the romance unfolding and the unbold type is the author telling you how he's trying to write the romance that will pass Iran's censorship laws. This has been on my tbr for was too long!
So I got caught by the library sale...but it was only 3$! 😂 (and the condition of all these is really nice, the Mahfouz appear unread)
A mini library #bookhaul this morning! I had to request Censoring from another branch but the other two I picked up by browsing. I'm pretty excited about my #translation #tbr 🤓
Packing 3 books for my trip to Kazakhstan! :)
pickAn often bizarre and fascinating look at censorship in Iran, this book is both an attempted romance novel, and the story of the author who's desperately trying to not get in trouble for writing it.
