Review title: In need of serious editing
Product review: I wanted so much to like this book. A book about life in Iran in the 1980s written by a woman, a literature professor, sounds fascinating. I was surprised to find that this book isn't very well written. Most of the dialogue and descriptions of the "girls" are just painful and the tone of the book is patronizing. I couldn't help wincing every time she used the term "my girls" and called her friend "my magician."The academic analysis is repetitive and doesn't go very far (almost embarrassingly so), and, unfortunately, we don't learn that much about the author's students or other people around her. The discussions of James, Nabokov and Austen simply reminded me that I could be spending my time reading something much better and more fun.
