Description
Praise for the French edition: "A poignant story of love, death, and exile."-Le Monde des Lives "Audacious and arresting."-L'express "With an incisive pen, the author revisits the harshness of the Islamic revolution, with its confiscation of a whole host of liberties."-Bruxelles Culture "Reveals the true face of homosexuality in Iran: necessarily hidden, but very widespread. One leaves the novel shaken, outraged."-Mmensuel.fr "A little marvel free from a teasing homo-eroticism, whining, Manichean judgments or pamphleteering. . . . The novel is like a prayer to the deceased, a memorial for a lost love."-La Caoua des idEes
