Things I've Been Silent About by Azar Nafisi
2.0
11/27- This is DRY stuff. I am STRUGGLING to get through it!
11/30- I finally finished it. It was a very slow-moving and dry account of some parts of Nafisi's history. Although she recounted many personal details, it was mostly done with such emotional distance that it was made dry. Likewise, although she recounted many historical and political details, they were told at such close range as to make the reader unable to really grasp the larger picture. The last couple of chapters, however, were beautifully done, and intimate and moving.
