BOOK SIGNING TO FOLLOW!!!
"In his lecture, Chuck Klosterman will discuss how pop culture shapes a person's identity. Why do so many of
us define ourselves by the media we consume -- the music we love, the movies we obsessively reference,
the television we can't stop watching? With inspired leaps of logic and a sense for relatable minutiae,
Klosterman shows us how pop culture becomes inextricably linked with our memories, how it helps us
understand the world, and what this says about us, as individuals and as a society. Bright with provocation,
hilarious non-sequitirs and good-natured debate, an evening with Klosterman will help you see our
accelerating world -- and the little connections that hold it together, that make it fascinating -- in a newly
appreciative light." - From the Lavin Agency

First Board Event of the Year:
Hooman Majd - Iran's Heart & Soul
For the first CEB Board Event of the year, we will be hosting Acclaimed Author and US-Iranian Relations expert Hooman Majd for a talk entitled "Iran's Heart & Soul: The People, Their Lives and What We Have In Common."
From the Lavin Agency:
"Hooman Majd is a luminous new voice on Iran... Majd's gift for explaining Iran's history and quirks to Western observers is evident in his book, The Ayotollah Begs to Differ. A New York Timesbestseller, it was also the #1 foreign policy book and the #1 book on Islam at amazon.com. In 2008, it was named an Economist Book of the Year.
The son of an Iranian diplomat, and the grandson of an eminent Ayatollah, Majd has worked as an advisor and translator for two Iranian Presidents, Mohammad Khatami and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on their trips to the United States and the UN.
As a journalist, Majd writes for various publications: Salon, The New Yorker, GQ and Time. He is also a writer and contributing editor toInterview, and was an original blogger at the Huffington Post, where he continues to write."
Mr. Majd talk will touch upon the complexity of modern Iran and the rich culture that lies beyond the headlines and soundbites.
From the Lavin Agency:
"Did you know that most Iranian college students are virtually identical to their American counterparts -- that they drink, smoke, watch The Daily Show, and obsess over pop culture? What else don't you know about Iran? In this talk, Hooman Majd offers a corrective to what the media shows you -- or rather, what it doesn't -- about this proud country (which is Muslim, Shiite, and, above all, Persian). From women cab drivers to reform-minded Ayatollahs, Iran is a country that is deeply religious yet highly cosmopolitan, a country that indeed wants better relations with the US, but with respect. Discussing the paradoxes inherent in the Iranian character, Majd bridges an understanding between two countries -- Iran and America -- that, deep down, may not be so different after all."
