Tales of Two Cities is an engrossing, cross-cultural memoir of
revolution and exile. It is the story of a fifteen year-old Persian
boy sent for his eduction from an old-world, pre-oil boom Tehran,
to the new-world, avant-garde San Francisco of the 1960s. Abbas
Milani richly chronicles his education, politicization, return to
Iran, disillusionment and eventual exile. Interwoven with the brisk
narrative is a loving account of the traditional Iran of the
author's childhood; a searing memoir of a lost generation of
Iranians torn apart by revolution and exile, a graphic portrait of
the author's time in the shah's jail and of his cellmates, the
mullahs who would soon emerge as the new leaders of the Islamic
Republic. Tales of Two Cities is not only the odyssey of one
intellectual doomed to exile, but also a message of hope and
ultimately salvation for the increasing number of people forced to
leave their homeland and settle in America.
