A Japanese translation by 藤田 伊織 (Fujita Iori) of Uncertain Luck, Rea Keech's novel of international love and intrigue set in 1969 Japan during the Vietnam War.
The Islamic revolution in Iran did not arise out of thin air. For years, the country had seethed with repressed resentment of the Shahs heavy-handed, authoritarian policies. Illegal societies operated underground, some tracing back to the beginning of the Shahs reign. Nationalists, socialists, Marxists, and Islamic leftists and reformers--all with somewhat different agendas--juggled for influence and support. The universities, mosques, and tea houses were filled with discussions that ranged from the theoretical to the seditious. This novel presents a heart-warming picture of the Iranian people who befriend, guide, love, and laugh at Marco, a young American teaching at the University of Tehran when forces opposing the Shah were gathering strength. Marco naively assumes at first that U.S. help is wanted and appreciated by the Iranians, but soon he comes to see himself--in the eyes of some--as an instrument of the Wests arrogant assertion of control. And then he falls in love.
