Iris Vegan, a young, impoverished graduate student from the Midwest, finds herself entangled with four powerful but threatening characters as she tries to adjust to life in New York City. Mr. Morning, an inscrutable urban recluse, employs Iris to tape-record verbal descriptions of objects that belonged to a murder victim. George, a photographer, takes an eerie portrait of Iris, which then acquires a strange life of its own, appearing and disappearing without warning around the city. After a series of blinding migraines, Iris ends up in a hospital room with Mrs. O., a woman who has lost her mind and memory to a stroke, but who nevertheless retains both the strength and energy to torment her fellow patient. And finally, there is Professor Rose, Iris's teacher and eventually her lover. While working with him on the translation of a German novella called The Brutal Boy, she discovers in its protagonist, Klaus, a vehicle for her own transformation and ventures out into the city again--this time dressed as a man. Siri Hustvedt's The Blindfold is "...a work of dizzying intensity. . .eloquent and vivid." - Don DeLillo.

In this eloquent memoir, Shusha Guppy recreates the lost world of her childhood in Tehran before the oil boom and the eventual overthrow of the Shah. Long before the momentous Iranian Revolution of 1979, which placed the country under strict religious rule, Shusha Guppy grew up in a Persia delicately balanced between traditional Islamic society and the transforming forces of westernisation. Guppy's magical tales about relatives and friends, music and drama, religious holidays and celebrations are interwoven with myth and legend, poetry and anecdote and provide a rare and optimistic portrayal of Iran; quite at odds with prevailing views of the country today. Through these glimpses of everyday life she makes subtle yet astute social and political observations at a significant time in Iran's history, when the country was caught between the oppressive but stable disciplines of the past and the unsettling freedoms of the future. This is an enlightening and moving testimony of a vanished world: a story as vibrant as Iran itself.

Many people who are married feel they love their spouse but can’t seem to get along with them creating frustration, distance, and sometimes, divorce. The problem often lies in a universal tendency to react to each other’s reactions. It may be my spouses words, facial expressions, or tone of voice that completely derails a well-meaning conversation. At other times, worries about a miserable future spousal relationship or getting stuck in past hurts destroys the emotional closeness they desire. Mindfulness, the gift of your full presence, is a powerful antidote to these common stumbling blocks. In practicing the skills contained in this easy-to-read book, you will gain greater mastery of mindfulness. Learning to be more mindful in your marriage will empower you to become more responsive rather than reactive and more emotionally available rather than checked-out. Not only will mindfulness enable you to communicate more effectively, it will help you learn how to love your spouse as he or she deserves to be loved. I commend you for answering God’s call to love one another. Your willingness to “make a mindful marriage” will decrease conflict, improve intimacy and foster closeness and resilience that will be a blessing to you and your family for years to come!

In 1980, twenty-year-old Chris Harvey paused from studying to talk to his roommate. Gunshots interrupted their conversation as a drunken young man randomly fired a high-powered hunting rifle from the hillside across the street. One bullet penetrated the side of Chris's house, struck him in the temple, and severed his optic nerves-instantly blinding him. Chris lost his sight, but he was determined not to lose God's vision for his life. Until My Blindfold Comes Off is a story of faith and courage. Live the events of that fateful evening and learn how Chris chose a positive attitude amid adversity. Follow his path as God teaches him to forgive, and see how he refuses to let go of his dreams. Look back with him as he recognizes God's hand in every step of his life. Rejoice with him as he claims God's promise of eternal life-a life in heaven with restored sight, where he will look upon the face of Jesus. Chris Harvey is a First Vice-President and Financial Advisor with Smith Barney. He holds the Bachelor's in Business Administration from Shepherd College. He was the first blind person to earn the Master's in Economics from the University of Virginia, and he pioneered talking computers in the brokerage industry.
