HTML: A journalist returns to her family home in Iran, witnessing enormous political, social, and personal change Suffering the recent loss of her beloved grandfather and newly committed to a career in journalism, Delphine Minoui decided to visit Iran for the first time since the revolutionâ??since she was four years old. It was 1998. She would stay for ten years. In the course of that decade, great change comes to both writer and country, often at the same time. Minoui settles into daily lifeâ??getting to know her devout grandmother for the first time, making friends with local women who help her escape secret dance parties when the morality police arrive, figuring out how to be a journalist in a country that is suspicious of the press and Westerners. Once she finally starts to learn Persian, she begins to see Iran through her grandfather's eyes. And so it is all the more crushing when the political situation falters. She is caught up in protests and interrogated by secret police; some friends disappear and others may be tracking her movements. She finds love, loses her press credentials, marries, and is separated from her husband by erupting global conflict. Through it all, her love for this place and its people deepens and she discovers in her family's past a mission that will shape her entire future. Framed as a letter to her grandfather and filled with disarming characters in momentous times, I'm Writing You from Tehran is an unforgettable, moving view into an often obscured part of our world Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

> JE VOUS ÉCRIS DE TÉHÉRAN, par Delphine Minoui (Points, 2016, Poche, 360 pages). — Sous la forme d’une lettre posthume à son grand-père, entremêlée de récits plus proches du reportage, Delphine Minoui raconte ses années iraniennes, de 1997 à 2009. Au fil de cette missive où passé et présent s’entrechoquent, la journaliste franco-iranienne porte un regard neuf et subtil sur son pays d’origine, à la fois rêvé et redouté, tiraillé entre ouverture et repli sur lui-même. Avec elle, on s’infiltre dans les soirées interdites de Téhéran, on pénètre dans l’intimité des mollahs et des miliciens bassidjis, on plonge dans le labyrinthe des services de sécurité, on suit les espoirs et les déceptions du peuple, aux côtés de sa grand-mère Mamani, son amie Niloufar ou la jeune étudiante Sepideh. La société iranienne dans laquelle se fond l’histoire personnelle de la reporter n’a jamais été décrite avec tant de beauté et d’émotion.
