Críticas
"Shahla Talebi's observations about language, writing, death, modes of consciousness, the depravity of the state and its prisons, and the experience of love and solidarity in the most abject circumstances in which she found herself speak for themselves. Her portraits of fellow prisoners are unforgettable. By far the most moving, sensitive, and profound book about torture I have read." -- Vincent Crapanzano "Ghosts of Revolution is the forbidden and forgotten social history of Iran, the moral vindication of a people written from the vantage point of a political prisoner, from the bared life of a liberating conscience. Judiciously poetic, pulling no punches, but above all showing an abiding love for the people of a homeland that is now blessed to have her as its storyteller, Shahla Talebi reassures the world that the right and the beautiful are still triumphant." -- Hamid Dabashi * Columbia University * "This is a powerful book that significantly enriches readers' understanding of human resiliency under regimes of torture and stands as compassionate testimony to the dialectical relationship between repression and resistance in modern Iran. Highly recommended." -- G. Tezcur * CHOICE * "Ghosts of Revolution gives us a great lesson in humanism in a period of History when we insist on the outer signs of international conflicts and lose sight of the inner struggles and sufferings of the people, each taken individually, who are the unbreakable core of what really matters. Shahla Talebi is a survivor with no hatred in her heart. We are implicated in what she has to say." -- Etel Adnan * author of Master of the Eclipse and Sitt Marie Rose * "Not memoir nor autobiography, but an extraordinary beading of visions beyond the person, and even the specific history of Iran, this book casts new eyes on the deathly zones of the post-revolutionary years without ever emptying the Revolution of its spiritual-political hope. In parsimony of words the author's voice is woven in conversation with the dead, as a gesture of love. It bears witness to death, madness, and betrayal for the sake of the living, and of community, mindful at all moments that the risk of destruction and madness is as much the product of historical processes as it is nested in the human soul. Act of witnessing and work of literature, Ghosts of Revolution makes an important impact for the transformation of cultural memory. It is a work of art in the fullest sense: a creation at the limits of life." -- Stefania Pandolfo "This searing memoir of women's visceral pain, principled resilience, and redemptive imagination in Iran's brutal political prisons will leave you shaken, forever. Talebi's voice is remarkable for its generous empathy, its poetry in evoking the tortured humanity of the women with whom she shared her prison experience, and its brilliance in analyzing the dark horrors inflicted on the men and women condemned to these death-spaces that were, in the 1970s and 1980s, and are even today, so strangely tied to the exercise of power in Iran." -- Lila Abu-Lughod * Columbia University, author of Writing Women's Worlds * "Ghosts of Revolution is both a powerful testimony and an important political act from an author sharing her singular experience of eight years behind prison bars. Remarkable in Talebi's memoir is her profound sense of dignity and resilience in the face of absolute despair and brutality. With a philosophical edge, her book helps us all to face our humanity and vulnerability and, most of all, to grasp that fine barrier between life and death, hope and submission. With clarity, honesty, and a lack of sentimentality, Ghosts of Revolution speaks to the resilient nature of the human spirit in the face of adversity and the abyss." * Shirin Neshat *
