- July 14 – Briskin, Dennis (RPCV). The Face of Iran Before. (2020) The author has compiled here many of his favorite portrait photos taken when he served as a volunteer in Arak, 1967-1969. The book captures an Iran that in some ways no longer exists. Thus, it is a work of cultural anthropology as well as photography. $72 (or $10 pdf from author) AND Phinney, Alice Preston (RPCV). Yekke bude yekke na bude. (1975) In this brief memoir, Phinney provides a series of personal anecdotes about her life as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kerman (1965-1967). While in Iran, she had a wonderful, rewarding time. Readers of the book will feel they are sharing in her discoveries, too. PLEASE NOTE: These two works will be read together for a single discussion session.
