Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books by Azar Nafisi

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.

This book is very well-written and I love how parts of it are written, but I also am not interested in a detailed analysis of Lolita, so some chapters are falling flat for me. With talk of Vladimir Nabokov there also comes many critical references to the communist revolution in Russia, which doesn’t sit well with me. Of course Vladimir wouldn’t have been a fan of the revolution, he had a very privileged childhood, growing up as a member of the exploiting class. I’d take his takes on communism with SEVERAL grains of salt.
