The Enigma of Iran (or Why American Policy-makers Should Read More Fiction)




ALOUD @ Los Angeles Public Library show

Summary: Iran, as any civilization, is defined most thoroughly by the stories it spawns. Join us for a candid conversation between novelist Gina Nahai (Caspian Rain) and Robert Scheer (editor-in-chief, Truthdig.com and host of KCRW's Left, Right and Center) about faith, modernism, and the emotional ties that bind the people of Iran and America.
