The Virgin of Solitude
Author: Taghi ModarressiPublisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 9780815609339
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
On the streets of Tehran, Nuri Hushiar knows his blond hair and blue eyes attract attention. While he relishes the attention he cannot avoid the uneasy feeling of being out of place. This sense of being exceptional and estranged is the hallmark of his character and the focus of his struggle in Taghi Modarressi’s last stunning novel. Set around the time of the revolution, The Virgin of Solitude follows the parallel lives of a transplanted Austrian woman, who has made Iran her home, and her grandson, Nuri, who desperately misses his mother but hides his longing behind a veneer of teenage bravado. As the turmoil of the revolution envelops the country, grandmother and grandson witness the dissolution of social, class, and political order, while searching for a sense of belonging. Nasrin Rahimieh’s translation captures the tone and mood of the original, rendering both Modarressi’s subtle humor and assured prose with effortless precision.
Six Myths that Hold Back America

Pages : 106
Book Description
Why is China booming while the American economy lags? Despite a globally challenging economic environment, production in China has grown by an astounding 7% to 14% a year, every year, for the past 20 years. America’s GDP, by contrast, fell during the serious recession of 2008-9, and is now struggling to achieve even a tepid 3% growth. Why should this be? Over time, economic thought and attitudes in the U.S. and other Western nations increasingly diverged from the underlying views in China, and significant contrasts developed. This book analyzes several key statements of “accepted” economic views in the U.S., to determine which have real basis in the U.S. financial system, and which are really just myths. The six myths: Asian nations are bankrolling the U.S. Treasury issued securities crowd out the private sector If everyone tries to save more, the nation will save more, and investment, GDP, and employment will increase If the government reduces the deficit, then national saving and investment will increase Today’s deficits create great burdens of tax for our childrer If the U.S. does not get its deficit reduced soon, treasuries will face the same problems as Greece and Ireland
