Publisher's note

In 1998 Terence Ward and his family set out on a long-awaited pilgrimage back home ù to the Islamic Republic of Iran, where they lived in the 1960s. Since the fall of the shah, the country and their past were effectively sealed off behind a veil of secrecy, and contact with one dear friend in particular, Hassan, had ceased. But memories of life in this enigmatic land ù of cherry orchards and Zoroastrian fire festivals, of the snow-capped Elburz Mountains and Hassan's magical fables ù inspired the Wards to return.
Searching for Hassan is the wondrous and touching story of the Wards' quixotic journey, ultimately rewarded by an emotional reunion with their lost friend. They travel into the depths of an unimaginably rich Persian past, to the very origins of civilization, and across the landscape of contemporary Iran, a surreal kaleidoscope of ancient traditions and Western pop culture. Ward's keen knowledge of Iranian culture and history, infused with the urgency of his personal journey, reveals a country that is both wildly alien and inextricably linked to the American imagination.

Annotation

The author grew up in Tehran, and many years later he tries to locate the family cook, a man named Hassan, who cared for the family during the 1960s. This memoir is an unusual view of the Middle East from an American perspective.
