"A remarkable meditation on violence, and on all the ways one bears witness to pain. Abdoh depicts a pulsating portrait of Tehran—a mad city of entrenched loyalties and corrupt alliances, of smugglers, hustlers, and lifelong runners, of forged documents and lost corpses."—Dalia Sofer, author of The Septembers of Shiraz
"Not since the London of Joseph Conrad's Secret Agent has a city ticked with as much tense significance as the Tehran of Salar Abdoh's edgy, topical, yet deeply humane Tehran at Twilight."—Brad Gooch, author of City Poet
The year is 2008. Reza Malek's life is modest but manageable—he lives in a small apartment in Harlem, teaches at a local university, and is relieved to be far from the blood and turmoil of Iraq and Afghanistan where he worked as a reporter, interpreter, and sometime lover for a superstar journalist who has long since moved on to more remarkable men.
After a terse phone call from his childhood best friend in Iran, Reza reluctantly returns to Tehran. Once there, Reza finds far more than he bargained for: the city is on the edge of revolution; his friend is embroiled with murderous Shia militants; his missing mother, who was alleged to have run off with a lover before the revolution, is alive and well; while his own life is in danger.
Against a backdrop of corrupt mullahs, shady fixers, political repression, and the ever-present threat of violence, Salar Abdoh offers a telling glimpse into contemporary Tehran and spins a compelling morality tale of identity and exile, the bonds of friendship, and the limits of loyalty.
Salar Abdoh was born in Iran, and splits his time between Tehran and New York City, where he is co-director of the creative writing MFA program at the City College of New York.
