Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books by Azar Nafisi
4.0
I also know of another "I" that has become naked on the pages of a book: in fictional world, I have become fixed like a Rodin statue.
These are the lines with which this book ends. I liked it, as far as book-memoirs go, but I also felt frustrated at times because it was taking so long to finish it. One would think that with all of this social distancing I would be reading more than ever but I just find it hard to focus on reading right now. Somehow managed to squeeze the last 150 pages in one day and I have to say this was the first time in a long time I've read something so focused & annotating along the way.
What this book did is made me interested to learn more about Iran and the situation. Who would've known that a book I picked in an Oxfam shop in Munchen would to this to me.
