Prisoner of Tehran by Marina Nemat has been selected as one of CBC’s Canada Reads books for 2012. Nemat will read and answer questions during a special event with Doug Dirks, host of the CBC Homestretch.

CBC Calgary and The Calgary Public Library are proud to welcome Marina Nemat, author of "The Prisoner of Tehran" to our city for a special meet and greet and author's reading.

The Prisoner of Tehran is one of this year's Canada Reads 2012 selections and will be defended by Arlene Dickinson.

Marina Nemat grew up a Russian Orthodox Christian in mainly Muslim Iran. She was a high school student in Tehran when the Islamic Revolution took power, in 1979. Three years later, at the age of 16, she was arrested for speaking out against the regime and thrown into the country's most notorious political prison, where she was tortured and narrowly escaped execution. Prisoner of Tehran is Nemat's candid account of her ordeal.
