SUMMARY:risc book club: disoriental
DESCRIPTION:By Negar Djavadi (tr by Tina Kover) – Iran/France\nKimiâ Sadr fled Iran at the age of ten in the company of her mother and sisters to join her father in France. Now twenty-five and facing the future she has built for herself as well as the prospect of a new generation\, Kimiâ is inundated by her own memories and the stories of her ancestors\, which come to her in unstoppable\, uncontainable waves. In the waiting room of a Parisian fertility clinic\, generations of flamboyant Sadrs return to her\, including her formidable great-grandfather Montazemolmolk\, with his harem of fifty-two wives\, and her parents\, Darius and Sara\, stalwart opponents of each regime that befalls them.\nIn this high-spirited\, kaleidoscopic story\, key moments of Iranian history\, politics\, and culture punctuate stories of family drama and triumph. Yet it is Kimiâ herself––punk-rock aficionado\, storyteller extraordinaire\, a Scheherazade of our time\, and above all a modern woman divided between family traditions and her own “disorientalization”––who forms the heart of this bestselling and beloved novel. 320pp
