King of the Benighted
"A thoroughly contemporary work, a lament for a lost utopia and an elliptical and bleakly horrific account of incarceration and torture in the Iran of the Mullahs."   --Times Literary Supplement"An account of an intellectual experience with a political revolution and its consequences. Eminently readable and meaningful. . . . a revealing work, related in the terse and compact style characteristic of a superb and sophisticated modern writer."  --World Literature Today"King of the Benighted is a book that transcends the limitations of time and space to explore the very essence of the human soul. . . . This book is a must for anyone interested in Persian literature."  --Small Press Magazine
