Reading Lolita in Tehran: Twenty-third Post (Ending)
Ok, so I’m sure that it’s pretty clear to anyone who’se been reading my thoughts on this book that I have loved it. It’s an amazingly good book. But it just sort of stopped. Memoirs tend to do that and it sort of annoys me. I mean, clearly the person living in the story is alive and writing it, so the story can’t really have ended yet, but it still seems like many memoirs could end in better places than they do. I just find it frustrating. Is Nassrin ever going to write that paper? Will Nafisi see her magician again? What about the country itself – what is going to happen to it? I hate how I don’t get the ending! I know that it hasn’t happened yet and I’m being kind of irrational, but still… I like a good ending.
This book was still amazing.
