Kissing the Sword: A Prison Memoir,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A moving account of life as a political prisoner in postrevolutionary Iran from the acclaimed Iranian author of Women Without Men.Shahrnush Parsipur was a successful writer and television producer in her native Iran until the Revolution of 1979. Soon after seizing control, the Islamist government began detaining its citizensand Parsipur found herself incarcerated without charges.Kissing the Sword captures the surreal experience of serving time as a political prisoner and witnessing the systematic elimination of opposition to fundamentalist power. It is a harrowing narrative filled with both horror and humor: nights blasted by machine gun fire as detainees are summarily executed, days spent debating prison officials on whether the Quran demands that women be covered. Parsipur, one of modern Irans great literary voices, mines her painful life experiences to deliver an urgent call for the most basic of human rights: the freedom of expression.Parsipur makes a stylishly original contribution to modern feminist literature. Marjane Satrapi, author of PersepolisStands as a powerful testament to not only the devastations of an era, but to the integrity and courage of an extraordinary woman. Kirkus ReviewsParsipurs memoir is a powerful tale of a writers struggle to survive the worst cases of atrocities and injustice with grace and compassion. A terribly dark but truly illuminating narrative; Parsipur forces the reader to question human nature and resilience. Shirin Neshat, artist
