A Memoir in Books
Azar Nafisi
The memoir recounts the author's experience as a literature professor in revolutionary Iran, where she secretly gathered seven of her most committed female students to read forbidden Western classics. Through their discussions, the group explores the intersection of literature and their lives under an oppressive regime, finding solace and rebellion in the pages of novels like "Lolita," "The Great Gatsby," and "Pride and Prejudice."
