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 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 the 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," she writes. In short, the art helped them to survive. --Shawn Carkonen--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From Publishers Weekly

This book transcends categorization as memoir, literary criticism or social history, though it is superb as all three. Literature professor Nafisi returned to her native Iran after a long education abroad, remained there for some 18 years, and left in 1997 for the United States, where she now teaches at Johns Hopkins. Woven through her story are the books she has taught along the way, among them works by Nabokov, Fitzgerald, James and Austen. She casts each author in a new light, showing, for instance, how to interpret The Great Gatsby against the turbulence of the Iranian revolution and how her students see Daisy Miller as Iraqi bombs fall on Tehran Daisy is evil and deserves to die, one student blurts out. Lolita becomes a brilliant metaphor for life in the Islamic republic. The desperate truth of Lolita's story is... the confiscation of one individual's life by another, Nafisi writes. The parallel to women's lives is clear: we had become the figment of someone else's dreams. A stern ayatollah, a self-proclaimed philosopher-king, had come to rule our land.... And he now wanted to re-create us. Nafisi's Iran, with its omnipresent slogans, morality squads and one central character struggling to stay sane, recalls literary totalitarian worlds from George Orwell's 1984 to Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Nafisi has produced an original work on the relationship between life and literature.

伊朗女作家阿扎尔•纳菲西的回忆录《在德黑兰读〈洛丽塔〉》(Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books),2003年在美国出版时,适逢伊朗核问题爆发而引起美国严重关注的时刻,而这本书也如同文化核弹一样,在美国激起巨大反响,以至于在纽约时报畅销书榜长踞117周之久...

将“德黑兰”与“《洛丽塔》”置放于同一语境中,显然有撩拨读者想象空间的意味。而事实上,伊朗女学者阿扎尔•纳菲西的《在德黑兰读〈洛丽塔〉》并无哗众之意,只是平实地讲述一段往事而已,不过因为处于特殊时期(上世纪八十年代的伊朗),连阅读西方小说也成为禁忌,于...

纳菲西把自己的人生凝聚到这本书中,以她爱的文学为篇章,以时间为线索,向我们细细道来她的挣扎和热爱。 对文学的热爱、对政治的关心让这本书和我之间有了某种默契。作者就像是我文学课的老师,亲切的讲述在极权的统治下应当如何坚持自我——若无想象的自由便无个人的自由。如...

有道是“一千个人有一千个人的《红楼梦》”,伟大的作品都允许无限的解读方式——与其说其中有某个作者想表达的“本意”,不如说我们在阅读中看到的其实都只是自己的投射:阅读起到了镜子的作用,反衬出我们头脑中那个世界的倒影。因此,翻开本书之前需要切记的一点是:关键词...
