The republic of imagination: America in three books
Description
Nafisi has written an impassioned, beguiling, and utterly original tribute to the vital importance of fiction in a democratic society. Blending memoir and polemic with close readings of her favorite American novels - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Babbitt, and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, among others - she invites us to join her as citizens of her 'Republic of Imagination,' a country where the villains are conformity and orthodoxy and the only passport to entry is a free mind and a willingness to dream.
