City of lies : love, sex, death and the search for truth in Tehran / Ramita Navai. by Navai, Ramita. Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2014. Call #: 955.06 N318c Subjects Tehran (Iran) -- Social conditions -- 21st century.   Tehran (Iran) -- Social life and customs -- 21st century.   Tehran (Iran) ISBN:  9780297869498 (hbk.) : Description:  xiii, 301 pages ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "Far removed from the picture of Tehran we glimpse in news stories, there is another, hidden city, where survival depends on an intricate network of lies and falsehoods. It is a place where Mullahs visit prostitutes, cosmetic surgeons restore girls' virginity and homemade porn is bought and sold in the bazaars. It is also the home of our eight protagonists, drawn from across the spectrum of Iranian society: the porn star, the ageing socialite, the assassin and enemy of the state who ends up working for the Republic, the volunteer religious militiaman who undergoes a sex change, the dutiful housewife who files for divorce, and the old-time thug running a gambling den. These are ordinary people forced to live extraordinary lives. Ramita Navai is a British-Iranian journalist who produces documentaries for Great Britain's Channel 4 current affairs series Unreported World"--Provided by publisher.
