Read the first chapter of "Pnin" by Vladimir Nabokov
The writer Vladimir Nabokov once said: "I think it is all a matter of love: the more you love a memory, the stronger and stranger it is." Memory plays perhaps its greatest role in exile literature when its remembrance that keeps an individual's story alive.
The Iranian writer Azar Nafisi knows exile. She was a professor in Tehran during that country's cultural revolution. She was ultimately expelled from Tehran university for refusing to wear the veil. Now, she teaches in the U.S. and last month, joined us to discuss her memoir, Reading Lolita in Tehran: a book that praises the power of fiction while contending with the loss of one's homeland. So, who better to lead our two part series, Exile and Literature?
