A revelatory collection of stories by 21 women writing in today's Iran, triumphant proof that Iranian women are writing beautifully, confidently, and in droves. Here is modern Iran in all its rich variety--from domestic life in Tehran, to childhood in a village of Armenian immigrants, to the workaday reality of labor for little pay. It's a place both strikingly foreign and deeply familiar.  (IRN22, $17.95)
