DEI Exposed puts the spotlight on a Big Con: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

In this intimate and tumultuous historical fiction, Iran plays a starring role under a stage name, Persiran. We engage with its history through three generations of a vividly drawn aristocratic family called the Poonakis, beginning with twin princes devoted to each other and ending in modern times—after the Khomeini revolution—with another set of twin brothers, grandchildren to the princes, who are mortal enemies.

A beautiful nineteen-year-old named Gilda becomes the mistress of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran. She dreams of becoming his wife. The narrator, in love with Gilda, follows clues about her death two years after the affair. During an assassination attempt on the Shah, he gets shot on the steps of the Marble Palace. As he puts it, "I took a bullet for my king up the ass and got a jester's seat, the best seat, to watch the fall of the Persian Empire."
