Ενδιαφέρον βιβλίο. Η συγγραφέας χρησιμοποιεί μια επιστολική δομή, γράφοντας γράμματα στον νεκρό πατέρα της, που δεν με ενθουσίασε ιδιαίτερα.
Δύο ιδέες από το βιβλίο που μου έμειναν:
- Να ζεις την καθημερινότητα και να αφήνεσαι στην ρουτίνα της καθημερινής ζωής και πως μπορεί αυτό να θεωρηθεί ως μια πράξη αντίστασης στην πολιτική κατάσταση.
- Οι πολιτικά προοδευτικοί άνθρωποι συχνά κάνουν ένα λάθος. Αντιμετωπίζουν την θεοκρατία στην Δύση ως κάτι αρνητικό που πρέπει να αποφευχθεί αλλά δικαιολογούν την θεοκρατία στην Ανατολή ως μέρος της τοπικής κουλτούρας.

I received an advance copy of this book through a giveaway listed on Goodreads.
Azar Nafisi's Read Dangerously is the most thoughtful mainstream examination of literature I've read in quite a while. The book, formed out of a series of letters Nafisi wrote to her father, explores the relationship between democracy, particularly during the Trump administration, and difficult times like the current pandemic, and literature that shines a light on the flaws of the world (in this case, specifically in the US and Iran) throughout its modern history. The works mentioned in these letters run the gamut, from Plato to Margaret Atwood to Ta-Nehisi Coates and more, and through Nafisi's writing readers see how these works have reflected the times they were written in, and how one can find a personal connection to literature. As such, Nafisi has provided an excellent introduction to analyzing these great works in a thoughtful and very accessible manner; I would recommend this book to anyone interested in history or literary analysis, and will definitely be submitting it to my library's end of year best list.

Incredibly thought provoking. The most intimate and nuanced exploration of political thought and literature I have read so far. I would recommend this to everyone, and I have dog eared nearly every other page for stand out quotes to return to.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Misogyny, Torture, Forced institutionalization, War
I don't remember all the content warnings, as I've been reading this slowly, but this is a difficult read. If you make it at least halfway through, despite all the darkness it will give you hope.

deeply personal examination of society (iranian and american specifically, but also in general) in great deal through the lens of literature and political regimes. stars deducted mostly because the thesis of the letter about israel and palestine did not fully resonate with me (I'm not familiar with grosman's works).
