From Stanford University Press Blog:
Roxanne Varzi, professor of anthropology and visual studies at the University of California,
Irvine [writes]: Thirty-seven years ago on February 11, 1979, on my eighth birthday,
Iran, my country, went through a radical shift. My family left Iran a year after the
Revolution, and I have been trying either to understand what happened or to explain
it ever since. My latest attempt is Last Scene Underground, an ethnographic novel
of life in contemporary Iran.
