30 May / The Bathhouse: A Novel by Farnoosh Moshiri [in AsianWeek]
Vicious, harrowing, nightmare of a short novel about a 17-year-old girl arrested and imprisoned for her brother’s revolutionary activities during the fundamentalist takeover of Iran. Based on the lives of real women who survived such horrific, unintelligible experiences, this book makes us question our own all-too-comfortable existence.
