Persian Girls: A Memoir | Nahid Rachlin
post image

[It's] Les Misérables, it was taken off the market, I managed to get a few copies before they shredded them...
What's it about?"
"A man who, out of starvation, steals a loaf of bread and is hounded by the police for the rest of his life. SAVAK thinks the book might miror some things in our society."

I put it in my scholbag and headed home....

How strange that in our culture books were considered dangerous...
