Nel suo ultimo libro, Leggere pericolosamente, Azar Nafisi torna a immergersi nei libri che più ha amato, e ci mostra, intrecciando racconto autobiografico e riflessione sulla letteratura, come le abbiano insegnato a dubitare della soffocante dicotomia tra aggressore e vittima; a vedere nell’odio e nella rabbia, in apparenza capaci di conferire identità, una fuga dal dolore. Le grandi opere letterarie sono pericolose, giacché smascherano ogni impulso ti...

Nafisi's critical memoir explores the how and the why during the 18 years she spent trying to raise a family, maintain a teaching career and keep her veil covering her hair. Just how dangerous it is to challenge the Hijab and Chastity laws enacted in recent months is becoming increasingly clear. But the signs were...

Her newest book, Read Dangerously, argues that reading literature, reading challenging, dangerous literature is foundational and fundamental to continued democracy.
