When he was a boy, Aga Akbar, the illegitimate, deaf son of a
Persian nobleman, travelled with his uncle to a cave on nearby
Saffron Mountain. Once there, he was to transcribe a cuneiform
inscription over three thousand years old. Decades later, his son,
Ishmael - a political dissident in exile - attempts to translate a
notebook filled with a private language made from this ancient
script . . . and in the process tells his father's story, his own,
and the story of twentieth-century Iran. My Father's Notebook is at
once a masterful chronicle of a culture's troubled voyage into
modernity and the heart-rending, timeless tale of a son's enduring
love.
