Helpful Score: 1

Though not exactly what I expected, I truly love this book. I was expecting more of a straight-forward narrative, but this is more like an essay on how post-modern literature parallels with many aspects of life in in post-revolution Iran. Yes, the author throws in quite a bit of her own experiences and what happened in her life, but what truly takes the story forward are the great classics she and her students emerge themselves in. Not exactly a light read, but good food for thought and an interesting way to look at the Islamic Revolution in Iran. I'd recommend it to anyone who's not just looking for fluff.
