As part of our Camden Conference series, Portland Public Library is proud to host Afarin Bellisario, a global leader in the field of tech and innovation who has taken a turn from her usual STEM world to pen her debut novel, “Silenced Whispers”. This book is a return not just to the city of her youth, Tehran, but to her childhood joy in writing. It is also the culmination of a personal pursuit for a better understanding of the history of Iran – one that goes beyond the Revolution of 1979 to drill into the legacies of Russo-British Imperialism. A history that is defining today’s Iran.
