ANTHONY ROBERTS: AUTHOR
ANTHONY ROBERTS
Tales of Dark Fiction
"Well-crafted scenes take the reader straight to the heart of a city on the brink of revolution as Anthony Roberts artfully draws full-dimensional characters who eloquently express a multitude of conflicting viewpoints on the place of religion, government, and power in society."
- Nancy LaTurner, author of "Voluntary Nomads"
‘This book gave me chills as I remembered those days and experiences.”
Timothy J. Gette
"Steeped with cultural situations and politics, the story plays out through two youth, an American, Joey, and a native of the land, Farhad Zadeh. Seeing the cruelty of a world through the eyes of these youths gives the reader an inside look at the cultural differences the world continues to struggle with today. This is a hard-driving, no-nonsense look at life in Iran during this politically changing time."
- Mary Daugherty, author of "A Death in Calgary"
‘A well researched, exciting page turner by an author that shares his memories after living in a turbulent time in Iran."
Fred Parveneh
"It takes an author of great courage to face the many sides of what became Iran's Islamic revolution. My hat is off to Mr. Roberts who manages to tell the tale with fairness and objectivity. Roberts' style is full of energy and he's written a page-turner that you won't put down, assuming you have a shred of interest in the subject."
- Doug Roberts, author of "The Man Who Fooled SAVAK"
" A moving and humorous story about a young man coming of age during a time of revolution. It left me crying, and wishing it wasn't over.
