The only one I've read is Reading Lolita in Tehran and I'd really like to read more to help me understand the situation better. Thanks for the recommendations, Ann.

You are right about the wonderful translation -- though I have not yet finished the novel, the narrative voice is clear and the book is literary and beautiful, a testament to the translator as well as the author. Thanks for pointing out my error. Harold, thank you for clarifying; in my eagerness to tell our readers about this book, I obviously misunderstood something I had read.

The book is NOT the first by Mandanipour to be written in English. The book was in fact written in Farsi and translated by SARA KHALILI, whose work is amazing given that Ann didn't even realize she was reading a work in translation -- Censoring and Iranian Love Story is, indeed, a fantastic book, and as such deserves greater accuracy by Ann.
