The Iranian American bestselling author of “Reading Lolita in Tehran” comes to Reston Community Center’s CenterStage next month.
Author Azar Nafisi is set to discuss her book and other work — which offers a portrait of the Islamic revolution in Iran and its effect on one university professor and her students — on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 8 p.m.
Copies of her books, including “The Republic of Imagination: America in Three Books,” will be available for purchase and signing after the event.
Nafisi is a fellow at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies and has taught at Oxford University and several universities in Tehran.
Tickets are $15 for Reston residents and $20 for all others. More information about the event is available online.
