The Artist, The Censor, and The Nude receives high praise by Roya Hakakian

“Of all the many books that have been published about Iran, none so viscerally conveys the absurdity of the censorship that bears on the nation, or the spirit of rebellion against it as ​The Artist, the Censor, and ​The Nude. Only an artist of the keenest sensibilities, like ​Pamela ​Joseph, can make such a distant experience so present.

– Roya Hakakian, author of Journey from the Land of No​: A Girlhood Caught in Revolutionary Iran​.
