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

2.0

I expected a little more from this book. The prose style was unoriginal, but I suppose in writing memoirs one has a license to just write things as they come and not go back and cut out all the boring parts (also to stop a chapter in the middle of a thought and never complete it). I found that this book was more about the state of women in Iran rather than their interpretations of literature (which is of course what I was interested in). I'm just puzzled about how someone who admires Nabokov could describe suffering so boringly.
