A combination of fiction and documentation, Sound Museum fearlessly interrogates statesanctioned violence and the psychologyand banality&#8212of evil.&#160In Iran, a curator has gathered foreign journalists for a VIP tour of her latest creation. As the guests sit to listen to her initial remarks, she shares the struggles shes faced in bringing together this exhibition&#8212especially the gender inequity shes battled for her entire career.But the Sound Museum is no ordinary institution. It is a museum of torture, wrought from the audio recordings pulled from interrogation rooms and prison cells. And the curator&#8212her unbroken monologue drifting through fieldwork examples, case studies, archives, philosophy, and dreams&#8212is only too happy to share her part in this globespanning industry.With sensuous and lyrical prose, Sound Museum bears witness while calling into question the act of witnessing, underlining complicities in systems of power and drawing the reader into the uncomfortable position of confronting one womans psyche evil, yet completely blind to her own depravity.
