Reza Aslan is a leading expert in world religions. He is also an internationally renowned writer, professor, and an Emmy- and Peabody-nominated producer, and recipient of the prestigious James Joyce Award. His books, including his #1 New York Times Bestseller, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth (over a million copies sold), have been translated into dozens of languages around the world. His latest book is An American Martyr in Persia: The Epic Life and Tragic Death of Howard Baskerville (October 2022).
An American Martyer in Persia highlights the complex and historic ties between America and Iran, but it also tells a bigger story about how and why religious and political convictions become tangled up in foreign policy -- for better and for worse.
The evening, MC’d by comedian-writer Maz Jobrani (author of I'm Not a Terrorist, But I've Played One On TV), features readings by Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog), the critically acclaimed and Academy Award-nominated Iranian American actress, and music by Leila Forouhar, a prolific Iranian American pop and classical singer.
