Escape From Iran is just the thing to help you chase those Islamophobic blues away. The adventures of Ara Vartan, a California stoner musician trapped in Iran in the midst of its 1979-80 revolution, will blow your mind. We first encounter Ara in a remote Kurdish Mountain village where he is studying Iranian music. When the revolution comes to the village, Ara runs for his life. On a bus rushing back to the US Embassy in Tehran he meets Kereshmae Nasraddin, a modern Iranian woman on her way to join a counter-revolutionary guerrilla group and demonstrate against the new government. Thrown together by fate, then captured after curfew, they are separated and subject to execution. While waiting for death, Ara encounters his old Berkeley friend, Dr. Mostafa Bazari, a pillar of the revolution, who fights to save their lives. Devilishly plotted, Ara barely gets out of one terrifying episode before he finds himself thrust into another even more mind-boggling event. Before we’re done we have been introduced to many elements of Iranian society which, like a kaleidoscope, helps us to understand so much about the revolution, its necessity, and the hopes and fears of Iranians with regard to it. Escape From Iran is a devastating revelation of how the Iranian revolution was experienced by Iranians of different walks of life. Although fiction, it reveals an unexpectedly complex historical understanding of the period. —Edmund Burke, Emeritus Professor of Middle East History University of California, Santa Cruz
