The Republic of Imagination: A Life in Books

A passionate hymn to the power of fiction to change people’s lives, The Republic of Imagination is 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 novels, Nafisi invites committed readers everywhere to join her as citizens of what she calls the ‘Republic of Imagination’, a country with no borders and few restrictions, where the only passport to entry is a free mind and a willingness to dream.

“No one writes better or more stirringly about the way books shape a reader’s identity, and about the way that talking books with good friends becomes integral to how we understand the books, our friends, and ourselves.” — Salon
