Reviews

This book offers a remarkably rich analysis of the works of one of Iran’s most renowned playwrights and filmmakers, Bahram Beyzaie. Focused on Beyzaie’s oeuvre between 1959 and 1979, this unparalleled work of scholarship is indispensable for understanding Beyzaie’s unique engagement with and critique of modernity in the Iranian cultural context. * Nasrin Rahimieh, UC Irvine, USA *
