Persian Letters offers a window onto Iranian life by translating and showcasing the works of Persian-language bloggers. Through their voices -- from clerics, to anarchists, feminists, or bus drivers -- we hope to sample the electronic dialogue going on within a society that is tough to characterize and often contradictory, but always interesting. We are not responsible for their views, however. You can write the editor of the blog, Golnaz Esfandiari, at <esfandiarig+rferl.org
