Description
Reading Lolita tells the story of two years of lectures on rebellion that Nafisi gave to a group of Iranian women, beginning in 1995 after she resigned from her university job—a job she could no longer tolerate under the Iranian theocratic regime. For two years, before emigrating to the United States, Nafisi and her students created a circle of personal freedom, punctuated by reading the works of Vladimir Nabokov, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jane Austen, and Henry James.
How did Nafisi devise her unique strategy for moving forward, continuing her life, and resisting the tyranny of the Islamic Republic by secretly sharing the stories she loved with others?
