Censoring an Iranian Love Story by Shahriar Mandanipour

3.0

I gave this three stars because of the excellent writing and so much information about Iran and the way things work there. Very excellent. However, the quirkyness of the book didn't appeal to me. Basically, the author is talking to the reader about wanting to write a love story that won't be censored in Iran. So some of the book is the author writing about his process of writing, some is the actual love story (in bold) and then some of the story is lined through - the parts the author suspects will be censored. I found it cumbersome, and eventually didn't even care how the love story turned out!
