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 latest attempt is Last Scene Underground, an ethnographic novel of life in contemporary Iran.
