Summary of Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I chose seven of my best and most committed students and invited them to come to my house every Thursday morning to discuss literature. I was sure at least one would turn against me. But the students stood by me, and took off their headscarves. #2 I had many students over the years, and I would often photograph them together.
I would always include Nassrin, but she would always be behind something or someone else. #3 I taught a class on the relation between fiction and reality, and we read Persian classical literature, such as the tales of Scheherazade, along with Western classics. We discussed how we can't escape the reality of black-scarved, timid faces in the city below. #4 The living room was a symbol of my nomadic life.
I had borrowed pieces of furniture from different times and places, and they created a symmetry that the other, more carefully furnished rooms lacked.
