A reading and discussion of Remembering Akbar: Inside the Iranian Revolution by Behrooz Ghamari.

“Behrooz Ghamari’s extraordinary memoir is unlike anything I’ve read: he bears witness to the terrible suffering and the loss of so many in Iran’s infamous Evin Prison in the wake of the revolution; but he does so with tenderness, humor and dignity. This book wilil change the way you understand the world.” —Claire Messud, author of The Emperor’s Children and The Woman Upstairs

“With his keen sensibility and rich personal experience Ghamari has crafted an unforgettable book, charting a course through the bitterness of oppression and survival into a resonant form of resistance.” —Elias Khoury, author of Gate of the Sun and The Broken Mirrors: Sinalcol
