Abdoh’s layered and complex tale captures the confusion and chaos of conflicting attitudes toward gender and sexuality while providing insight into life in modern Tehran.
Abdoh (Tehran at Twilight) explores the lives behind the war-torn headlines in a way that captures the full humanity of the participants. Channeling a bit of Tim O’Brien and a good deal of Joseph Heller, he has written the best novel to date on the Middle East’s ceaseless wars.
Abdoh (The Poet Game), codirector of the MFA program in creative writing at City College of New York, gives readers a visceral sense of life in a country where repression is the norm, someone is always watching, and your past is never really past. Recommended for espionage aficionados and for readers who enjoy international settings. [See "Books for the Masses," Editors' BEA Picks, LJ 7/14, p. 30.]
