A city of stories - short, fragmented, and at times contradictory - Tehran is an impossible tale to tell. For the capital city of one of the most powerful nations in the Middle East, its literary output is rarely acknowledged in the West. This celebration of its writing explores the tensions that make the city what it is today.
The "Reading The City" series continues with this collection of short fiction about the diverse, uncertain, historically-charged and future-conscious experience of life in Iran's most secular and liberal city.
