City of Lies

Love, Sex, Death and the Search for Truth in Tehran /
Dec 19, 2014KateHillier rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
A look into modern Tehran through the eyes of eight very different points of view. The main thesis of the book here, which you can guess by the title, is that lying is part of the culture. Not maliciously but for survival. Lies by omission mostly. My knowledge of Tehran is rather limited so I found this book fascinating. A lot of these stories are sad and frustrating but there is a lot of joy and hope and defiance as well.
