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

5.0

---

This book surprised me. I came in skeptical because it was non-fiction and I had only read 1 of the books listed on the section titles (Gatsby). However, I really enjoyed this book. It had it's slow moments but I can forgive those for how connected to all of the characters by the end. I liked the writing style and although dense, the descriptions and language were nice. It was also cool reading this after just finishing the Kite Runner because it gave the opposite feminine perspective to a very similar time/area setting.
