This paper explores how the narrator’s migration experience and her nuanced relationship with “home” form the narrative in Azar Nafisi’s Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books (2003). It also examines the protagonist’s unfulfilled longings for utopian worlds, which are frequently articulated through ordinary interactions in a geography of spaces connected to inside/outside, public/private, and East/West. In its depiction of the migrant experience in the host society, this novel adopts an emancipatory discourse. This discourse combines the following elements: a fascination with the immigrant’s capacity to transform its identity and adapt to the new home; enthusiasm about the potential opportunities and liberties available in the new society; and a gesture intended to propose “individual agency” as the essential element to “making it” in the host country. The word “home” has a wide range of connotations and interpretations across the research. The protagonist’s relationship to both her adopted home and native home is a constant subject of discussion. The novel’s portrayal of the adopted home and the place of origin downplays the conflicts that result from the contexts’ nuanced historical developments by merely dividing them into binary oppositions between the First World and the Third World. As a result, the issue of “home” challenges both the ideological foregrounding and Nafisi’s position in respect to her text.
