Then the Fish Swallowed Him: A Novel
Author: Amir Ahmadi Arian
ISBN: 9780062946300
Book Cover Type:
- Paperback
An critically-acclaimed Iranian author makes his American literary debut with this powerful and harrowing psychological portrait of modern Iran—an unprecedented and urgent work of fiction with echoes of The Stranger, 1984, and The Orphan Master’s Son—that exposes the oppressive and corrosive power of the state to bend individual lives.
Yunus Turabi, a bus driver in Tehran, leads an unremarkable life. A solitary man since the unexpected deaths of his father and mother years ago, he is decidedly apolitical—even during the driver’s strike and its bloody end. But everyone has their breaking point, and Yunus has reached his.
Handcuffed and blindfolded, he is taken to the infamous Evin prison for political dissidents. Inside this stark, strangely ordered world, his fate becomes entwined with Hajj Saeed, his personal interrogator. The two develop a disturbing yet interdependent relationship, with each playing his assigned role in a high stakes psychological game of cat and mouse, where Yunus endures a mind-bending cycle of solitary confinement and interrogation. In their startlingly intimate exchanges, Yunus’s life begins to unfold—from his childhood memories growing up in a freer Iran to his heartbreaking betrayal of his only friend. As Yunus struggles to hold on to his sanity and evade Saeed’s increasingly undeniable accusations, he must eventually make an impossible choice: continue fighting or submit to the system of lies upholding Iran’s power.
Gripping, startling, and masterfully told, Then the Fish Swallowed Him is a haunting story of life under despotism.

30 Days of Creativity: Draw, Colour and Discover Your Creative Self

Philosophycally written and well researched book about most mysterious subject in neuro science

My interest in data science, machine learning and AI brought me to Pak Manifesto's website. This is a great book (and although I haven't read all of it) it basically underlines the importance of having a deep intuitive understanding of probability and being able to glean information from minute details in order to fine-tune one's predictions (about anything). The data on which such predictions are based, it quantity, breadth, depth and quality are all important, as is the broader canvas of knowledge surrounding the problem at hand.
My pleasure in purchasing this book was doubled for two reasons. I got to know Mr. Riaz, the owner of Pak Manifesto who is a gentleman to the core, always keen to support his customers and provide them with the best experience. And secondly, when I received the book vide TCS, I found out that its a Penguin original paperback with superb quality paper and illustrations (though not in colour, just black, grey and white).
This book is a must read for any statistics and/or data science student or even a professional. Highly recommended from my side!
