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

dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

I think the beauty of this book is that it could be written many times by various people and not get boring. This is a chaotic and all over the place story about living in a very oppressive state. The key word here is living. I felt very validated in my own feelings by this book, but I also think it would be useful for anyone to read to try and get at least into one person’s head from an oppressive state. It is chaos, it is a boiling pot of ugly reality and life of an individual. It will take a while to finish, but it feels like it is the whole point
