Kish is an island in the Persian Gulf, whose recent history has been largely defined by the ever-shifting politics on the Iranian mainland. The island’s many years of infrastructural indecision is distinctly evident in its architecture, which lacks any trace of coherence or feel for locale. This volume gives an often moving account of the chaos of middle-eastern modernity.
