📝 SYNOPSIS:

A magisterial, sweeping historical masterwork that beautifully mirrors a family's intimate heritage against the dramatic, turbulent tapestry of twentieth-century Persian history. In My Name Is Iran, celebrated veteran National Public Radio (NPR) journalist and producer Davar Ardalan delivers a brilliant, objective, and deeply poetic memoir tracing three generations of cross-cultural identity, displacement, and survival.

Ardalan’s narrative moves effortlessly between worlds. She tracks the incredible legacy of her American mother, an independent scholar who married an Iranian physician and moved to Iran in the 1960s, alongside her grandfather, a pioneer of modern Iranian healthcare, and her great-grandmother, a revered tribal matriarch. Ardalan herself grew up moving between the United States and Iran, eventually finding herself working as a young mother and journalist inside the complex socio-political landscape of post-revolutionary Tehran. Through acute psychological tracking and journalistic precision, she analyzes the structural shockwaves of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the devastating Iran-Iraq War, and the heavy physical and emotional costs of statecraft shifts on ordinary families.

Far from a simplistic personal diary, this premium Henry Holt masterwork operates as an exceptional geopolitical analysis of institutional alienation, ideological wars, and the deep cultural friction between the East and West. An indispensable foundational deep-dive for non-fiction bibliophiles, memoir collectors, and current affairs analysts looking to comprehend the profound historical and psychological roots driving modern Middle Eastern dynamics.
