STAFF PICKS
Reading Lolita in Tehran By Azar Nafisi
A true book club's book, this memoir follows a book club made up of seven women and their experiences reading controversial Western literature in Iran. Azar Nafisi , a former professor at the University of Allameh Tabatabei, heads the group, who meets secretly and encourages the women to speak their minds not only about the literature at hand, but also about their experiences in the turbulent country. Through this book club, they began to see some parallels between themselves and the characters and found that reading to be essential to their survival in an oppressive world.
