Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Recounted in unsentimental, funny and at times heartbreaking style, this is a memoir of a completely unusual upbringing; Sayrafiezadeh grew up in America, the child of would-be socialist revolutionaries during the twilight of communism, and of Iranian descent at the time of the hostage crisis of 1979.

Publisher's description:

The revolution is not only inevitable, it is imminent. It is not only imminent, it is quite imminent. And when the time comes, my father will lead it. Said Sayrafiezadeh's Iranian-born father and American Jewish mother who had one thing in common: their unshakable conviction that the workers' revolution was coming. This is his memoir.
