Reading Lolita in Tehran
In the stifling atmosphere of post-revolutionary Iran, a former literature professor secretly gathers a small group of university students to delve into forbidden Western novels. These women, from diverse backgrounds and with lives marked by societal constraints, find in classic stories like *Lolita* and *Pride and Prejudice* a mirror to their own silenced desires and struggles. This memoir beautifully weaves together their intimate discussions with the author's own experiences of navigating academia and personal freedom under oppressive rule, offering a profound exploration of the power of literature to sustain the human spirit.
