Curiously, the novels we escaped into led us finally to question and prod our own realities, about which we felt so helplessly speechless.

In "Reading Lolita in Tehran," Azar Nafisi explores the transformative power of literature and its ability to spur introspection. The novels that her group read in secret allowed them to confront their own lives and the oppressive circumstances surrounding them. This act of reading became a means of escape, as well as a catalyst for deeper questioning of their realities, which often left them feeling voiceless in the face of restrictions.
