Читая «Лолиту» в Тегеране

Her selections seem so deliberate—each one representing different aspects of defiance and hope. I wonder what influenced her choices and how she decided their significance.

The memoir highlights both their resilience and the restrictions they face, but sometimes I wondered if the narrative glossed over their internal struggles. What was others' take on this balance?

The blend of memoir and book discussion adds depth but also complexity. I'm curious whether Nafisi planned this structure from the start or if it evolved as she wrote.
