A contextual review of Aziz's Notebook: At the Heart of the Iranian Revolution by Chowra Makaremi, written during the 25th year anniversary of the 1988 prison massacres in Iran.
[First paragraph of article follows] Aziz’s Notebook speaks to us through the voices of the dead, with memories refracted through other memories. What ensues is a single narrative, one of absence, vio- lence, imprisonment, execution and exile pieced together from different perspectives. We are led into the lives of two sisters, whose political affiliations cause their even- tual executions in a post-revolutionary Iran. This is an Iran rife with chaotic power struggles between the (then) newly founded Islamic Republic and opposition activists.
