After Exile brings together political witness, historical reflection, and literary thought to examine what authoritarian systems do not only to nations, but to language, dignity, and the inner life.
Featured theme
Essays rooted in lived experience and moral clarity, written for readers who want to understand Iran beyond headlines, slogans, and diplomatic abstractions.
About
Iran is too often discussed as a geopolitical file rather than as a civilisation, a people, and a living moral history. This platform was created to resist that reduction.
I write as an Iranian-born author living in Ireland, shaped by exile, memory, and the long shadow of the Islamic Republic. My work combines lived experience, literary reflection, political analysis, and philosophical inquiry.
After Exile exists for readers who want to understand not only what authoritarian systems do in public life, but what they do to language, imagination, intimacy, and the inner architecture of survival.

Book
Gardens After Fire is a work of literary nonfiction that brings together memoir, cultural history, and philosophical reflection to explore Iran beyond the language of crisis.
It is a book about what survives after rupture: memory, ethics, landscape, grief, and the long continuity of a civilisation that cannot be reduced to the regime that has occupied it.
