As We Were book by Lili Golestan

Description

As We Were is a compelling collection of press clippings, personal writings, and archival notes that Lili Golestan gathered over four decades. What began with her first published response to Oriana Fallaci eventually grew into five large bags of newspaper cuttings documenting her life, her books, and her gallery. In this curated selection, Golestan revisits these fragments and chooses the pieces that matter most to her. Through them, readers gain insight into her personal viewpoints on cultural, artistic, and social issues. At the same time, the book serves as a form of historical documentation, offering a vivid reflection of forty pivotal years in contemporary Iranian history. It is both a personal narrative and a cultural chronicle told through real moments preserved in print.
