Last Scene Underground: An Ethnographic Novel of Iran | 
Tonight's bath time book, my last read for my Middle Eastern Politics class and the first fiction book of the semester! (Joy!)
BookishMarginalia I'm curious about the concept of an"ethnographic novel" and wonder if there are others that bill themselves thusly. 8y
Shmemilina Yeah, it was definitely something that was commented on in our discussion of it in class. I thought the most interesting reflection was the question of how accurate it can really be given that in this fiction book you can see inside the main character's head, but an anthropologist or ethnographer can never really know when they're getting the whole truth from an interviewee. @BookishMarginalia 8y
BookishMarginalia @Shmemilina I hadn't considered that point but that's would indeed by a big issue. 8y
