Azar Nafisi, the author of Reading Lolita in Tehran, has a new memoir out, reviewed in this past Sunday's NYT. It appears to give a behind the scenes glimpse at the author's life and choices to leave, then come back to Iran (then leave again).
The reviewer is the author of another book I'd like to read, called Persian Mirrors: The Elusive Face of Iran.
