A review by syebba
The Republic of Imagination: America in Three Books by Azar Nafisi

4.0

A fabulous reasoning as to why fiction is not only good to read, but absolutely necessary for the betterment of readers and mankind. This means that I will soon be reading 'Babbitt' and 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.'
Favorite quote: "Every novel has at its core a choice by at least one of its protagonists, reminding the reader that she can choose to be her own person, to go against what her parents or society or the state tells her to do and follow the faint but essential beat of her own heart."
