Night Moves: Book reading with Azar Nafisi

POSTED: Tuesday, January 27, 2009, 11:36 PM
Filed Under: Night Moves

Don't know what to do tonight? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

Yes, this is the second literary Night Move this week. But c'mon, that's what depressingly cold winter nights are for — schlepping out of your house to read a book with strangers, even though you could do the exact same thing by yourself at home. (Don't worry, the social interaction is good for your SAD.) Tonight, author Azar Nafisi will be reading from her new book, "Things I've Been Silent About." Unlike her previous work, "Reading Lolita in Tehran," this one is personal. She talks about her troubled parents, family secrets and exploring her sexuality through literature. Hopefully the last bit will keep us warm enough to walk home afterwards.

Tue, Jan. 27, 7:30-9pm, free , Free Library, Central Branch, 1901 Vine St., 215-567-4341.

Great tip. Would have been more helpful if posted more than an hour before the event.
