| adam_text | Azar Nafisi,
author of the beloved international
bestseller Reading
Lolita
in Tehran, now gives us
a stunning personal story of growing up in Iran,
memories of her life lived in thrall to a powerful
and complex mother, against the background of a country s
political revolution. A girl s pain over family secrets; a young
woman s discovery of the power of sensuality in literature;
the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by
political upheaval
—
these and other threads are woven
together in this beautiful memoir, as a gifted storyteller once
again transforms the way we see the world and reminds us
of why we read in the first place {Newsday).
Nafisis intelligent and complicated mother, disappointed
in her dreams of leading an important and romantic life, cre¬
ated mesmerizing fictions about herself, her family, and her
past. But her daughter soon learned that these narratives of
triumph hid as much as they revealed. Nafisis father escaped
into narratives of another kind, enchanting his children with
classic tales like the Shahnameh, the Persian Book of Kings.
When her father started seeing other women, young
Azar
began to keep his secrets from her mother. Nafisi
s
complic¬
ity in these childhood dramas ultimately led her to resist
remaining silent about other personal, as well as political,
cultural, and social, injustices.
Reaching back in time to reflect on other generations
in the Nafisi family, Things I ve Been Silent About is also a
powerful historical portrait of a family that spans the many
periods of change leading up to the Islamic Revolution of
1978—79,
which turned
Azar
Nafisis beloved Iran into a
religious dictatorship. Writing of her mother s historic term
in Parliament, even while her father, once mayor of Tehran,
was in jail, Nafisi explores the coffee hours her mother
presided over, where at first women came together to gossip,
to tell fortunes, and to give silent acknowledgment of things
never spoken about, and which then evolved into gatherings
where men and women would meet to openly discuss the
unfolding revolution.
Things
I ve Been Silent About is, finally, a deeply personal
reflection on women s choices, and on how
Azar Nafisi
found
the inspiration for a different kind of life. This unforgettable
portrait of a woman, a family, and a troubled homeland is
a stunning book that readers will embrace, a new triumph
from an author who is a modern master of the memoir.
AZAR NAFISI
is a visiting professor and the direc¬
tor of the Dialogue Project at the Foreign Policy institute of
Johns Hopkins University. She has taught Western litera¬
ture at the University of Tehran, the Free Islamic University,

1981
she was expelled from the University of Tehran after refus¬
ing to wear the veil. In
1994
she won a teaching fellowship
from Oxford University, and in

Iran for America. She has written for The New York Times,
