    On Sunday, January 10, BookTalk at BSC 2010 will begin with the first of three books on Iran. The theme, 'Strange Times, My Dear,' is inspired by Ahmad Shamlu's poem, In This Blind Alley, which was written in response to the Islamic revolution. Each stanza ends with the line, "Strange times, my dear."

    The first book chosen for BookTalk at BSC 2010 is Caspian Rain, a novel by Gina B. Nahai, with discussion led by Arlene Gray. Caspian Rain received rave reviews from Booklist, Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly. Publishers Weekly said, "Nahai explores the struggles of an Iranian family in the tenuous decade before the Islamic revolution... a poignant tale of a 'damaged family."

    BookTalk discussions will be held at the BSC Library from 1 to 3 p.m. and are free and open to all. The books can be borrowed from libraries or purchased from local booksellers. BookTalk is funded by the BSC Library and a grant from the BSC Foundation. For more information, call 224-5450 or go to the "Read It, Read It" blog at bismarckstate.edu/library.
