About This Item
London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson. Very Good+. 2022. First Paperback Edition. Softcover. 0297871315 . Card covers show very light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 301 pages; "In today's Tehran, intrigues abound and survival depends on an intricate network of falsehoods: mullahs visit prostitutes, local mosques train barely pubescent boys in crowd control tactics, and cosmetic surgeons promise to restore girls' virginity. Navai paints an intimate portrait of those discreet recesses in a city where the difference between modesty and profanity, loyalty and betrayal, honor and disgrace is often no more than the believability of a lie." .
