Then The Fish Swallowed Him
Paperback Edition: 1
A critically-acclaimed Iranian author makes his American literary debut with this powerful and harrowing psychological portrait of modern Iran - an unprecedented and urgent work of fiction with echoes of The Stranger, 1984, and The Orphan Master's Son - that exposes the oppressive and corrosive power of the state to bend individual lives.
Yunus Turabi, a bus driver in Tehran, leads an unremarkable life.
A solitary man since the unexpected deaths of his father and mother years ago, he is decidedly apolitical-even during the driver's strike and its bloody end. But everyone has their breaking point, and Yunus has reached his.
