Dr Pur Bahlul sent me a bill for 3,000 toman. It was an enormous amount of money, which I’d never be able to pay. After all, my father earned only three toman a day.

“You have an obligation to pay the bill,” the dentist said. “And you’ll pay it down to the last penny.”

“I know, doctor, but …”

Everything had already been arranged. He’d made an appointment for me with one of the editors at the city newspaper. If I agreed, I could work twice a week, for three hours a night, sorting letters from readers, editing them and getting them ready for print. I would be allowed to keep half of what I earned; the other half would go towards the dental bill.

It would have taken me years to pay off my debt, but fate intervened. A year later, I was heading towards his house with another book under my coat when I saw that his street was swarming with policemen. There were even three armed officers standing guard on his roof. The police held back the crowd and wouldn’t let anyone into the street. I hung around to watch.
