Wow, what a week! I’m home again and, as expected, it’s time to revise. Interestingly, the novel character whom my fellow participants liked the most was Rustam, the evil, yet tormented, SAVAK agent whose job is to ferret out anti-Shah, pro-Islamic revolutionary cells. The problem is that his own son, Darius, is in one of those cells. So as he’s trying to find “The Lions of the Revolution,” he’s also trying to make sure the other SAVAK agents don’t find them. In the meantime, Sarah, the American grad student is trying to write her thesis on the 
revolution without getting caught. Bubbling up in the background is, Ashura, a major religious holy day, and things are getting dicey.
Revision advice? More of Rustam, and more of Kayvan, a rather shallow jerk who spouts revolutionary slogans without a whole lot of conviction.
