Drawn from conversations whispered across tables in the cafes that line Vali Asr, Tehran, Iran's pulsing central thoroughfare, journalist Ramita Navai gives voice to the unforgettable lives of ordinary people forced to live extraordinary lives in modern Tehran: the porn star, the aging socialite, the assassin and enemy of the state who ends up working for the Republic, the religious militiaman who undergoes a sex change, the dutiful housewife who files for divorce, and the old-time thug running a gambling den.
