(completed July 2004)

Absolutely loved it. I bought it for myself with a gift card from the Wagners. As Gatsby is one of my favorites, reading anything that refers to it is great. Henry James has been added to my list of must-read authors and I might even reread Pride and Prejudice as a result of this book. I know very little about Iran, but I think it was particularly interesting to read while living in the former DDR.
