Shahrnush Parsipur’s censored, surreal novel of women against the state finds its perfect match in visual artist Shirin Neshat. A mysterious house outside time and place provides haunted refuge for four different women -- mother, virgin, sex worker -- in post-revolutionary Iran. Violence is never far, even in their dreams.
