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
