Azar Nafisi - READ DANGEROUSLY

Azar and I discuss Read Dangerously, how she selected the authors to include in this book, the reemergence of book banning, coming up with the format she used for the book, how curiosity leads to empathy, the importance of fiction in our lives, and much more.
Azar's recommended reads are:

The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak

Maus by Art Spiegelman

Nicky & Vera by Peter Sis

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
