Description

Shane Bauer, Josh Fattal, and Sarah Shourd

With Chanan Tigay, Assistant Professor of Creative Writing, San Francisco State University

In summer 2009, UC–Berkeley grads Shane Bauer, Josh Fattal and Sarah Shourd were hiking in Iraqi Kurdistan when they unknowingly crossed into Iran and were captured by border patrol. Accused of espionage, the three Americans ultimately found themselves in Tehran’s infamous Evin Prison, where they discovered that pooling their strength of will and relying on each other were the only ways they could survive. They share their story of hardship and hope, which is detailed in their new memoir A Sliver of Light: Three Americans Imprisoned in Iran.
