Omschrijving

A lyrical tale of memory, resistance, and survival in post-revolutionary Iran.

At the Wall of the Almighty, Farnoosh Moshiri's haunting and lyrical debut plunges readers into the depths of a prison ruled by theocratic power, where the boundaries between memory and imagination begin to dissolve.

The story opens in the Black Box--solitary confinement--where an unnamed prisoner awakens with no memory of who he is or why he's been imprisoned. Loony Kamal, the erratic guard assigned to escort him to Cell Number Four--the cell of the "Unbreakables"--is unconvinced. Can anyone truly forget everything? As Kamal probes for answers, the prisoner fights not to remember, but simply to survive.

What begins as an interrogation turns into a tense, shifting relationship--part battle of wills, part emotional reckoning. Unsure whether he's inventing or recalling, the narrator begins to tell hypnotic tales: of grandmothers and peacocks, of love and loss, of a bricklayer building a wall ever higher through the night. These stories, flickering between past and dream, become lifelines--infusing the stark prison with myth, color, and hope.

Set in the charged aftermath of the Iranian revolution, At the Wall of the Almighty brims with poetic force and political urgency. It is a powerful meditation on resistance, identity, and the enduring strength of the imagination in the face of extreme duress.

For readers of dark but uplifting literature and anyone who believes in fiction's power to bear witness, this novel is unforgettable.
