A Harrowing Experience at Home: Faraj Sarkuhi's Letter
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2022
Extract
In This Letter, Faraj Sarkuhi, Essayist And For Many Years Editor Of the prominent journal Adineh, tells the story of his macabre ordeal with the security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The text reflects a repetitive and cyclical struggle to make sense of seemingly disjointed events and experiences, which are in the process of coming into a meaningful focus in the context of Sarkuhi's present pain, humiliation, and isolation. What is so gripping about the letter is the genuine voice of despair that reaches out to the reader through the labyrinth of words.
