ALL MEMOIRS BRING THE PAST INTO THE PRESENT, but only a few manage to illuminate both simultaneously. French Hats in Iran, a quietly insightful masterpiece of remembrance, belongs in that select group. Heydar Radjavi's evocations of growing up in Tabriz in the 1930s and 1940s describe a traditionalist Iran grappling with modernity, a process as fraught with contradictions and stresses then as it is in Iran today. In a series of minitales, we meet a rich cast of characters: the elderly father who works in the Tabriz bazaar and runs his household according to unbending religious precepts; the resourceful mother who finds ways to enjoy such forbidden frivolities as music; the female playmate who marries at the age of nine; the teacher whose personal journey takes him from strictest piety to political radicalism; and many more. Finding a path through all the complexities is Radjavi himselfa wideeyed little boy in some episodes, an adventurous teenager in others, and finally a young man preparing to enter a fastchanging world. The tone is always light, the memories wonderfully vivid, and the underlying theme of tension between old and new truly timeless.
