An Evening with Azar Nafisi

Sat, Mar. 3, 2012 at 8pm

Best-known as the author of the national bestseller Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books—which electrified readers with its incisive exploration of the transformative powers of fiction in a world of tyranny— Nafisi takes audiences on a journey inside a culture, speaking out against authoritarianism and repression. Nafisi appears on the heels of her Spring 2012 release, That Other World: Nabokov and the Puzzle of Exile.
