Prisoner of Tehran
Marina Nemat • 2007
Devastation Rating
political prison memoir survival injustice
Our Take
Nemat was sixteen when she was arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and sentenced to death. Her memoir of Evin Prison is written with a clarity that makes the torture unbearable to read. She survived by marrying her interrogator, and that survival is its own form of imprisonment.
