I haven't read Nabokov's Lolita which I'm still looking to read some time.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-57671818951001069882012-12-25T13:57:28.196+00:002012-12-25T13:57:28.196+00:00I agree that there are some problems with the book...I agree that there are some problems with the book. It almost look as if the author wrote the memoir just for herself and not for the readers. This could explain the lack of distinction between characters (they are real people, not characters actually) and the confusion with the dates and the events (not everybody knows the political history of Iran, but the author certainly does).<br /><br />However, I loved how literature plays an important part in the lives of this women, and how she used literary criticism in a work of fiction (well, sort of, since it's a memoir). <br /><br />I think it's a unique book, and worth reading especially if you like literature. If you've read some of the books she mentions it's a pleausre to read how she discusses them.Stefania - The Italian Backpackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208023950547260256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-92058549456595965012012-11-30T13:42:52.575+00:002012-11-30T13:42:52.575+00:00Definitely.

I am yet to read it and your excellent review of it has made it more pressing for me to read it. I dare say that despite your unbiased misgvings I may find it interesting and jsut worth it. Regardless, I will review it, and let you know when I am done reading.Reading Pleasurehttp://readinpleasure.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
