Laced with secrets, sorrow, and the longing of exile, The Nights Are Quiet in Tehran tells the human story of political upheaval.
Shida Bazyar reveals the reality of leaving your homeland and living in hope, following one family from the Iranian Revolution to present-day Germany.
Shortlisted for 2026’s International Booker Prize, it draws on Bazyar’s parents’ memories and the dissonance of witnessing Iran’s turmoil from afar.
A rare chance to hear her reflections firsthand.
Chaired by Marjorie Lotfi.
