| book description |

A combination of fiction and documentation, Sound Museum fearlessly interrogates state-sanctioned violence and the psychologyâ€”and banalityâ€”of evil. In Iran, a curator has gathered foreign journalists for a VIP tour of her latest creation. As the guests sit to listen to her initial remarks, she shares the struggles she's faced in bringing together this exhibitionâ€”especially the gender inequity she's battled for her entire career. But the Sound Museum is no ordinary institution. It is a museum of torture, wrought from the audio recordings pulled from interrogation rooms and prison cells. And the curatorâ€”her unbroken monologue drifting through fieldwork examples, case studies, archives, philosophy, and dreamsâ€”is only too happy to share her part in this globe-spanning industry. With sensuous and lyrical prose, Sound Museum bears witness while calling into question the act of witnessing, underlining complicities in systems of power and drawing the reader into the uncomfortable position of confronting one womanâ€™s psyche: evil, yet completely blind to her own depravity.
