Review title: A missed opportunity,
Product review: Although I picked up this book hoping to gain insight into the plight of intellectual women in Iran, I was distracted by the overall lack of cohesion in this book. The point of Nafisi's book becomes buried in literary anaylsis and disconnected narrative. She intends to use Lolita as a metaphor for Iranian society's oppression toward it citizens and women in particular, but instead of letting the metaphor emerge on its own, she drills it into us through pages and pages in ecstacy of Nobokov.Nafisi seems unaware that the strength of her novel should come from the stories of her students, not from her own ponderous pontification. She has an evocative style of writing that would have been well suited to illuminating a world to which we as readers would not otherwise have access, but her prose is wasted on novels that we can read on our own and draw our own conclusions.
