Writing and Madness in a Time of Terror is not what I expected. I thought it would be an angry #MeToo story, with a lot of hand wringing and sobbing [but it] was wholly entertaining, disturbing and fascinating...like walking through a series of dark poems...Alex is the only man out of a string of exes in the memoir who [matters, but] because [the author is Iranian] and not Jewish, his family not only forbids him to marry her but they begin pressuring him into dates with Jewish girls. After the break-up, Majidi enters one abusive relationship after the next, with men who seem to find pleasure in physically and sexually hurting her...If you enter Majidi's world when she's in a manic episode, you can see there is some sense in her madness. It's as if she is going through her days explicating one frightening poem after another instead of dealing with the trauma and abandonment she's experienced. Sometimes it feels as if she's deciphering mystical signs that others can't see. And if you follow the unreasonable logic of her thinking, the whole situation does become a frightening metaphor for what's happening in the world.. -Reedsy
