L'Aléthophobie tourne autour de la vie du professeur Pirooz né en Iran qui vit principalement dans sa propre imagination; il est partout et pourtant il n'est nulle part. Il dissimule et dissimule, mais perd le contrôle de lui-même et parle son esprit - malgré ses efforts - à tout prix. Il est un siffleur avec un sifflet brisé, un cœur brisé et une existence brisée. À quoi sert d'être professeur si vous ne pouvez pas professer et, pire encore, que vous devez payer des lèvres à la liberté académique pour ne pas être marginalisé? L'aléthophobie est mouvementée, spirituelle et perspicace. C'est une véritable histoire qui semble surréaliste. Comment de tels événements ont-ils pu se produire sur un campus universitaire tranquille en Amérique ? Comment l'amour d'une magnifique policière et d'un scientifique étonnant pourrait-il prendre racine et fleurir dans un sol aussi inhospitalier ? L'histoire a de nombreux tours et torsions étonnants provoquant des rires et des larmes.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. "Alethophobia" revolves around the life of the Iranian-born Professor Pirooz who lives mostly in his own imagination; he is everywhere and yet he is nowhere. He dissimulates and dissimulates, yet loses control of himself and speaks his mind -- in spite of his efforts -- at all costs. He is a whistle blower with a broken whistle and a broken heart and a broken existence. What is the use of being a Professor if you cannot profess and, worse yet, have to pay lip service to academic freedom in order not to be marginalised? "Alethophobia" is eventful, witty and insightful. It is a real story that appears as surreal. How could such events occur on a tranquil university campus in America? How could the love of a gorgeous policewoman and a wondering scientist take root and blossom in such inhospitable soil? The story has many stunning turns and twists inducing laughter and tears.
