Review of Azar Nafisi interview

The general lack of understanding North
Americans have of other cultures, and our current, oh, what is the right word? connection to the Middle East, makes this a very useful and compelling conversation. Sandip Roy's questions are perhaps different from those a woman would ask –– he concentrates on the politics, lands less heavily on women's issues, but his questions are thoughtful and stimulating. Azar is articulate, eloquent, and covers the women's ground she wants covered regardless of the question. And she has a lovely voice and laugh. Now I must read that book!
