概要

In this episode Nancy Aguilar speaks with Amir Taheri, author of the allegorical novel Alice in Mullahland, about using satire and dark humor to reveal life under Iran’s Islamic Republic. Amir draws on his own experiences to explore themes of fear, survival, censorship, and the psychology of authoritarian rule.

The conversation examines the book’s animal allegory (rabbits, lions, wolves, foxes), the moral hypocrisy around sexuality and hijab, the regime’s control of knowledge and protests, and the human cost of disappearances and violence.

Despite the brutality described, Amir argues cracks are appearing within the regime and offers a cautious note of hope while stressing the importance of history, solidarity, and imagining a different future.
