In 2003, Azar Nafisi published Reading Lolita in Tehran, in which she recounted her experience of leading a secret book club in her native Iran. The book offered a look beyond the veil and into the minds and everyday experiences of a group of educated Iranian women in the mid-1990s. Nafisi's new memoir exposes more secrets — hers. In Things I've Been Silent About: Memories, the author reflects on what it was like to grow up between Iranian revolutions in the home of politically connected parents — one of whom she felt she could never truly please. Nafisi will speak at the Plaza Branch of the Kansas City, Missouri, Public Library (4801 Main) at 7 p.m. A 6:30 p.m. reception precedes the event; Nafisi will sign books starting at 8. For reservations, call 816-701-3407. The library announced on February 2 that this event has been postponed becuase Nafisi is ill.
