A story about this — 5 years ago
Great subject matter, and it centers around two of my all-time favorite novels-Lolita and The Great Gatsby. But Nafisi’s own prose put me off. She’s addicted to adverbs, and her students never came to life through her romance-novel descriptions. I’m sure she’s a wonderful teacher, though-she made me want to re-read all the books she taught.
