The Story
Over Iran, the sky is falling in. The US-Israeli bombardment has begun: there are
bodies beneath the rubble. The Ayatollah is dead. The guards have abandoned the
prisons. The rain is black with fuel; it burns the skin and the streets.
In this searing and contemplative work, writer, academic and Tehran resident Raha
Nik-Andish documents life in the Islamic Republic in the days and months leading up to
"Operation Epic Fury." In a rarely-seen portrait of a regime in freefall, this is Tehran on
the brink; the crushed protests over the collapse of the currency; the taxicabs circling
the city for work; the burned out garbage cans and the taped-up windows.
What does it mean to exist under siege? Or repression, blackout and total fear? How do
you get the message out? Piercing, poignant and delicately observed, this is the vital
story of a city at the end of the world - and an act of witness against darkness.
Raha Nik-Andish is the pen name for a writer, translator and art historian who lives in
Tehran. He has written features and essays for The London Review of Books and The
Markaz Review. Tehran Diaries is his first book.
