Ismail, an Iranian novelist exiled in Holland, receives the diary of his deceased father, a carpet weaver from Arak born deaf-mute. Written with the symbols of an ancient cuneiform inscription, these notes hold the family's past and help the protagonist understand his present. Through the father's writings and the son's questions, the novel traces the history of Iran during the 20th century, from Reza Kan's modernization attempts to the repression of the ayatollahs' regime.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the history of Iran and in autobiographical novels with a family background.
