    Abstract:
    The author does justice to a subject often mentioned, yet rarely studied. He succeeds in its purpose, i.e., providing “as genuine a picture as possible of the censorship of literature after the 1979 Revolution” followed by discussing “the effects of this unique censorship regime on the Iranian literature of the time” (9). Drawing from his experience as a censored reader, writer, and publisher, he begins with an illuminating account of his experience as a child and a teenager in (post)revolutionary Iran.
