fantabulous.
A must read for anyone who loves literature. Nafisi narrates her ordeals as an English university teacher in the clerical ruled Iran of 80 ' s and 90's. She also charters the reader (along with her secret students) through her various beloved novels and authors. Though I didn't understand each and every aspect of what she said, I immensely enjoyed reading this book.
This surely deserves a second, thorough read, but after some time, after finishing all the literary works she has mentioned here, and after reading up the political history of Iran.
This is a must - read for anyone who loves English literature.
