126: What Women Really Think. Online Life in the American Empire. Eurydice Eve & Porochista Khakpour

Speak with Eve Eurydice

Porochista and Eurydice talk literature, uniparty, America’s reality TV politics, celebrity culture, pop culture, rape culture, Jeffrey Epstein and P. Diddy. They discuss feminism from the 90s to now, Hamptons “white parties” and NYC clubs and Palm Beach society.

Porochista Khakpour is a refugee from Iran , whose family fled the Iran-Iraq War and the Islamic Revolution , and the author of the books Sons and Other Flammable Objects, The Last Illusion, Sick, and Tehrangeles, her satirical, polyphonic, campy third novel, a tragicomic saga about the high-functioning dysfunctional Milani family of Iranian multimillionaires in LA who have a McMansion, a snack food empire, and four young daughters who live a reality TV lifestyle. The book is a critique of the untruth of social media, and the challenge of living an authentic life online.

We discuss America’s generational differences, geopolitical differences, cultural differences. Gen Z is much more sensible & conservative than media understands, having been raised in the broken marriages & narcissistic romances & messy family dynamics of boomers & Gen Xers.
