An inspired blend of memoir and literary criticism, Reading Lolita in Tehran is a moving testament to the power of art and its ability to change and improve people's lives. In 1995, after resigning from her job as a professor at a university in Tehran due to its repressive policies, Azar Nafisi invited seven of her best female students to attend a weekly study of great Western literature in her home. Since the books they read were officially banned by the government, the women were forced to meet in secret, often sharing photocopied pages of the illegal novels.
For two years they met to talk, share and "shed their mandatory veils and robes and burst into color". Though most of the women were shy and intimidated at first, they soon became emboldened by the forum and used the meetings as a springboard for debating the social, cultural and political realities of living under strict Islamic rule. They discussed their harassment at the hands of "morality guards," the daily indignities of living under Ayatollah Khomeini's regime, the effects of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, love, marriage and life in general, giving readers a rare inside look at revolutionary Iran. The books were always the primary focus, however and they became "essential to our lives: they were not a luxury but a necessity", she writes.
Threaded into the memoir are trenchant discussions of the work of Vladimir Nabokov, F Scott Fitzgerald, Jane Austen and other authors who provided the women with examples of those who successfully asserted their autonomy despite great odds. The great works encouraged them to strike out against authoritarianism and repression in their own ways, both large and small: "There, in that living room, we rediscovered that we were also living, breathing human beings; and no matter how repressive the state became, no matter how intimidated and frightened we were, like Lolita we tried to escape and to create our own little pockets of freedom." In short, the art helped them to survive. --Shawn Carkonen, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
'Communicates brilliantly the terrifying moral absolutism of a state which believes that to write of adultery is to condone it.'
'The use of Lolita, Gatsby etc. as metaphor is exquisite.'
A remarkably original account of one woman's experience of the Iranian revolution, generously interspersed with erudite passages of literary criticism. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
一开始这本书的书名让我想起罗伯特•瓦尔泽一个迷人的短篇,叫《意大利小说》。它描述了一个男青年读完某小说后的剧烈情绪变动。此情绪变动进而发展成极其戏剧化的行为——我总觉得这事态既神秘又可爱,神秘的是你不知道在人心哪块风平浪静的表面下就藏着一颗兴风作浪的种子...

評分在穿行都市的巴士上读纳菲西写她在动荡的德黑兰街头奔跑,在旧书店的屋檐下躲避枪火,在人群中寻找熟悉的面孔,在喧嚣的大学论坛上与左派论战,在拉起窗帘的家中客厅和解下面纱的学生们读《洛丽塔》,读《伟大的盖茨比》。隔着灰蒙蒙的城市大气,这一切似乎遥远而不真切,但又...
