Once there, he was to copy a three-thousand-year-old cuneiform inscription-an order of the first king of Persia-as a means of freeing himself from his emotional confinement. For the remainder of his life, Aga Akbar used these cuneiform characters to fill a notebook with writings only he could understand. Years later, his son, Ishmael-a political dissident in exile-is attempting to translate the notebook . . . and in the process tells his father's story, his own, and the story of twentieth-century Iran.A stunning and ambitious novel by a singular literary talent, My Father's Notebook is at once a masterful chronicle of a culture's troubled voyage into modernity and the poignant, timeless tale of a son's enduring love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598840037664,"sku":"NEW0060598727","price":15.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71OsXgMWknL.jpg?v=1779206855","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/my-fathers-notebook-a-novel-of-iran-0060598727","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
