Zendegi by Greg Egan
The novel “Zendegi” by Greg Egan was published for the first time in 2010.
Martin Seymour is an Australian journalist sent to Iran to cover the parliamentary elections. The religious authorities manage to have many opposition candidates exclude and this causes the start of a series of popular protests, especially among young people. When a member of the government is discovered in a compromising situation, the political consequences for the Conservatives are heavy. Martin ends up staying in Iran to cover this turbulent period in the country’s history.
