Ramita Navai
An eye-opening account of ordinary lives lived under the shadow of a repressive regime, City of Lies documents the dangerous, desperate and frequently bizarre activities of eight men and women residents of Tehran. In collating and presenting these testimonies, Navai sheds light on a society all too often hidden from Western eyes.
