Waiting for the Revolution

Said Sayrafiezadeh was born as the third child of an Iranian father and an American mother who believed that socialist revolution was the destiny of the United States. Said's father left home one night, shortly after the family moved to New York to support the movement. After his father's departure, Said found solace in imagining that he was "a noble, adventurous man who had no other choice." After all, the revolution would definitely happen one day, and when it did, his father would assume its leadership...

Waiting for the Revolution is a touching memoir that confronts the concept of family, in which internal reckonings about the past are honestly conveyed through a child's language.

"Sayrafiezadeh , writes with extraordinary power and control."
The New York Times

"Sayrafiezadeh brilliantly recognizes the personal and political contradictions in the story of his transition from childhood to adulthood, and although he goes through financial difficulties, he lives out of love. He sends a touching greeting to his rich childhood."
The Times
