Search - Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books

Audio performer Lisette Lecat makes this story come alive. By the end of the book, you feel she is the author Azar Nafisi from Iran. You feel Ms. Lecat actually knows the people she refers to throughout the memoir. Recommended.

I liked: How do U know when your country is being taken over by facists? I've been wondering that for a long time. Nafisi tells that through watching it happen. Her story against the background of the takeover of Tehran. Now I understand.
Didn't like: Verbose. Too much of a professor talking to students ie me. Distant, lack of emotion. I am ordering her next book which, hopefully will include me, the reader into the emotions of her life.

I loved all the literary references in this book - it made me want to read even more than I already do!
