Beschreibung:
Born in Iran in 1946, Shahrnush Parsipur began her career as a fiction writer and producer at Iranian National Television and Radio. She was imprisoned for nearly five years by the Islamist government without being formally charged. Shortly after her release, she published Women Without Men and was arrested and jailed again, this time for her frank and defiant portrayal of women's sexuality. While still banned in Iran, the novel became an underground bestseller there, and has been translated into many languages around the world. She is also the author of Touba and the Meaning of Night and Kissing the Sword, among many other books, and now lives in exile in Northern California.
A new translation of this classic work: "Parsipur is a courageous, talented woman and...a great writer."--Marjane Satrapi
