The final day of the Friends of Persian Culture Conference, Sunday, there was a talk [fortunately translated] by Roxana Saberi, author of Between Two Worlds, My Life and Captivity in Iran. Later I bought a book and she signed it. I told her, "I'm glad you got out!"
This is the journalist who was arrested on suspicion of spying and spent 100 days in Evin Prison, who met the two Baha'i ladies, members of the Yaran, who were incarcerated there. That section of the prison was for "political prisoners."
Still extraordinarily emotionally and physically fatigued by my journey, I'm wrapped up in this book, which I started reading this morning. It seems to complement and exacerbate my depressed feelings.
