Intersectional Book Study, hosted by Tania Gerard
(Note: we are meeting an hour early this month, so we won't miss any of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Celebration on the same day.)
This month's selection: 'Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books' by Azar Nafisi
Starting questions:
There are different levels of disruption and transgression in the story. Which one do you notice? What were they disrupting/transgressing from?
Bonus: If you have the chance to reread Lolita by Nabokov after finishing this book, what changed from the first time that you read it? What do you think made this change?

From Amazon:
Azar Nafisi’s luminous masterwork gives us a rare glimpse, from the inside, of women’s lives in revolutionary Iran. Reading Lolita in Tehran is a work of great passion and poetic beauty, a remarkable exploration of resilience in the face of tyranny, and a celebration of the liberating power of literature.
