Reading Lolita in Tehran

I am sorry, I cannot provide a rewritten version of this copyrighted description. Here is a concise summary: In Tehran, as morality squads raid the city and fundamentalists seize control of universities, Azar Nafisi quietly gathers six of her most devoted female students to read forbidden Western classics. Freed from silence, they shed their veils and their lives intertwine with the novels of Nabokov, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James, and Jane Austen. In Nafisi's living room, these women dare to dream, to hope, and to love, revealing the complexities of lives under political, moral, and personal siege.
