Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books by Azar Nafisi
5.0
My favorite book this year. Nafisi, like any talented weaver, threads together her life (and those of her students, collegues, friends, family ) as an English teacher during the Iranian revolution with all the books she used to teach her students.(Nabokov Lolita, The great Gatsby , F scott Fitzgerald, Pride and Prejudice, etc).
Nafisi gives us a glimpse of a time many of us would not have imagined. A lovely and thought-provoking read.
