Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi
Donated by Manick Govinda, who says...
I loved this book as it gave me both moral and intellectual strength. In the face of near totalitarian Islamic dictatorship, Nafisi and a cohort of wonderful students read to escape, seek refuge, dream, imagine and learn how to find a space for freedom, both within their private and public life. It’s made me want to re-read Lolita, The Great Gatsby and all the other authors/novels referenced in this beautifully written and tender memoir. It’s a must read!
A typo in my copy, which should read: “…it’s made me want to re-read Lolita, The Great Gatsby and all the other authors/novels referenced in this beautifully writtena dn tender memoir.”
