How many of you know the meaning of (or indeed can read correctly) the subect text of this comment? If not, then, like Mrs Nezhat Nafisi, Azar's mother, you could have been appointed to be a member of Shah's Parliament!
more on this later ....
I totally agree with

من هفته پيش، در كتاب فروشي بارنز و نوبل، كتاب تازه خانم نفيسي را ديدم، و مقداري از آن را در همانجا خواندم٠ بايد خدمتتان عرض كنم كه پدر ايشان رويهمرفته مثبت نشان داده شده، ولي مادر ايشان بسيار منفي جلوه ميكنند٠ پس از خواندن مقداري از آن، راستش را بخواهيد، تصميم گرفتم كه كتاب را نخرم٠ ديدم كه اين پدر و مادر ديگر زنده نيستند كه جواب اين كتاب را بدهند، و به عقيده من، اين كار درست نيست كه پشت سر مردگان اين طور حرفها زده شود٠ در هر صورت، كتاب را سر جايش گذاشتم، و به قسمت ديگر كتاب فروشي رفتم٠
Another romantic claptrap in writing
by critic. (not verified) on Sat Jan 10, 2009 03:31 PM PSTAzar Nafisy is a classic example of spoilt brat who having enjoyed all the spoils of a privileged life in Pahlavi era, later turned against her family's benefactor, rebelling against her parents, as flawed as they were, to gain her "liberation". Her expreinces are not unique at all. Thousands of Iranian women in that period went through the same expreineces and reacted the same way. Except that many of them became much less useless than Ms Nafisy has been to her society and her former country. This is another self promotional book in the guise of a view of the Iranian family life (see Shusha Guppy's memoir - a generation older than Naficy but equally useless nontheless).
I am sick and tired of these
by Ali1234 (not verified) on Sat Jan 10, 2009 01:15 PM PSTI am sick and tired of these Iranian authors getting "liberated" by the Western culture!

Mommy Dearest
by Nader Vanaki on Fri Jan 09, 2009 05:11 PM PSTThis is a remake of Joan Crawford's daughter publishing Mommy Dearest-Iranian version.
Azar Nafisi also waited for both parents to die to publish her naneh man gharibam tale.
Surely, a boring read.
Okay so your first book was a hit
by farrad02 on Fri Jan 09, 2009 04:53 PM PSTDoes anyone know if her new memoir is good?
