See Description, Reviews and buy on Amazon Iranian Rappers and Persian Porn: A Hitchhiker's Adventures in the New Iran
"A timely and valuable book by a young Westerner who decides to see Iran for himself. Maslin is naive upon his arrival--having no idea what to expect--but keeps an open mind and invites the reader along on his fascinating and colorful adventures. His experiences reveal the lies that mainstream media are telling us about the country. Having read this book, I may visit Iran in the near future." --Richard Kendrick, author of Déjà Vu
"Jamie Maslin follows a long line of intrepid young Britons, from Laurie Lee to Paddy Leigh Fermor and, most recently, Rory Stewart, who set off on a journey to distant parts with little money but lots of curiosity; and return to tell their tale. Maslin has a good ear for dialogue and a keen eye. The result is a hitchhiking odyssey across Iran that provides a fascinating, and timely, behind-the-scenes glimpse of a country the news anchors never reach." --Simon Worrall, author of The Poet and the Murderer
"Jamie Maslin's book is Iran from the ground up, and a total surprise to those who only know the media version of that country. A fascinating likeness of a complicated people." --Anthony Brandt, editor of the Journals of Lewis and Clark and The National Geographic Adventure Classics series
"Without pretending to know anything beyond the headlines, Maslin finds his way into conversations with an array of guys who hang out in coffee shops, wanting to party. He charms these young people and various others. More youthful in tone than Jason Elliot's 'Mirrors of the Unseen: Journeys in Iran,' this travelogue will appeal to armchair travelers and those wondering about future prospects for Iranian society." --Library Journal
"Bill Bryson meets Jack Kerouac." ----Simon Van Booy, author of The Secret Lives of People in Love and Love Begins in Winter
