Reading Lolita In Tehran: A Memoir in Books

This is a remarkable and moving non-fiction work by Azar Nafisi, intertwining the history of revolutionary Iran with some of the most important works of the Western canon. As Nafisi and her students remove their veils and explore texts in her living room/classroom, they make discoveries about themselves as well. A moving and important work that weaves modern history and fiction, bringing the importance of fiction to the forefront of the struggle for self.
