    Makes you think
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021*

One of the best books I've read (listened to) in several years.  Azar Nafisi's loving criticism of our American DNA is so well written and thought-provoking.  I bought the CD after reading an uncorrected proof & then turned around and bought 5 hard copies to send to friends.  This book is NOT political, just one woman's view of why we are who we are and links it to the books most of us have read during middle school, high school and college.

    A Visit to Nafisi's Republic
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2014*

This turned out to be very good.  The introduction alone is a strong case for literacy and deep reading and a lament for what the rich and politicians have done to impose a new kind of illiteracy on the poor.  I was struck by one quote she found from John Adams in 1765 wrote, "A native of America who cannot read or write is as rare an appearance...as a comet or an earthquake."  And this apparently was true and remained true for a number of years.  I had previously read that the literacy rate tested on inducted WWI white soldiers was in the low 90 percent.  It dipped in the WW2 testing and dipped further to the mid sixties for Vietnam.Nafisi chose three books to illustrate the American reading experience.  Huckleberry Finn, Babbitt, and The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.  She doesn't really examine critically the three books but instead tells stories about them that illustrate her choices and her view of American Literature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Reflections on living
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2015*

Fascinating book offering commentaries on contemporary ways of living by looking through experience of life in Iran and the USA, and also through US literature. I found it provocative in ways that resonated with me. The critique of contemporary education and the way it is being emptied out by instrumental logics is spot on
