Lolita in Tehran
by Asar Mafisi
...
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. |
