Alice in Mullah Land is a surreal political novel that explores life under a clerical dictatorship through allegory, dark humor, and distorted reality. Set in an imagined world that closely mirrors modern Iran, the novel examines how power is maintained by religious authority, fear, and ritualized obedience. Rather than retelling real events directly, it uses symbolism and satire to show how ideology shapes everyday life — how rules replace morality, how violence becomes normalized, and how truth dissolves under dogma. Written against the backdrop of ongoing protests and widespread misinformation about Iran, the book aims to provide context rather than slogans. It does not argue politics or offer manifestos; instead, it invites readers to experience how such systems function from the inside, especially for those who encounter Iran only through headlines. Blending elements of dystopia, fable, and psychological realism, Alice in Mullah Land is intended for readers interested in political allegory, authoritarian systems, and the human cost of theocratic rule — particularly in light of current events in Iran.
