She was known as "Bait 455," the most famous prisoner in a ruthless theological republic. He was one of the colonels closest to the Supreme Commander. When they meet, years later, far from their country of birth, a strange, equivocal relationship develops between them. Both their shared past of suffering and old romantic passions come rushing back accompanied by recollections of the perverse logic of violence that dominated the dictatorship under which they lived. The Man Who Snapped His Fingers is a novel of ideas, exploring power and memory by an important female writer from a part of the world where female voices are routinely silenced."--Provided by Amazon.com. 546 $a Translated from the French. 650 0 $a Women prisoners $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Totalitarianism $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Iran $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Anderson, Alison, $e translator. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019015035.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220104014417.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170203040756.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C5BF93C6B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
