From her 2007 book, Jasmine and Stars: Reading More than Lolita in Tehran; in a direct, frank, and intimate exploration of Iranian literature and society, scholar, teacher, and poet Dr. Fatemeh Keshavarz challenges popular perceptions of Iran as a society bereft of vitality and joy. Her fresh perspective on present-day Iran provides a rare insight into this rich culture alive with artistic expression but virtually unknown to most Americans.
