The dangerous readings

And Nafeesi, in her book "The Dangerous Readings... The Influential Power of Literature in Troubled Times," presents evidence of the power of literature and its impact during difficult and turbulent times. This is through a series of virtual messages she wrote to her father, who passed away more than ten years ago, between November 2019 and June 2020. Nafeesi takes us on a wonderful journey emphasizing the strength of literature and its readings during crises, revealing her great passion for reading, which she sees as a tool, not a weapon, in such times. The book also discusses the nature of the role of literature in an era where some political parties and totalitarian regimes are waging ongoing wars against writers and authors, in addition to the connection between political conflict in our daily lives and the way we meet our enemies on a page of fiction, and how literature can influence politics — through free exchange.
