Description

Azar Nafisi's Republic of Imagination is a passionate case for the vital role of fiction in a democratic society. In this follow-up to her bestselling memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran, Nafisi responds to critics who say fiction has nothing to teach us today. She blends memoir and polemic with close readings of her favourite novels to make a compelling argument. Nafisi invites readers to join her in her 'Republic of Imagination', a country where the villains are conformity and orthodoxy, and the only passport to entry is a free mind and a willingness to dream. With engaging prose and insightful analysis, Nafisi makes a powerful case for the enduring importance of fiction in our lives. Through her writing, Nafisi challenges us to think critically about the role of imagination in shaping our understanding of the world and ourselves.
