Hooman Majd was born in Tehran, Iran in 1957, and lived abroad from infancy with his family who were in the diplomatic service. He attended boarding school in England and college in the United States, and stayed in the U.S. after the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Majd had a long career in the entertainment business before devoting himself to writing and journalism full-time.
In vividly readable style ... Majd gives us what's been missing for so long: a nuanced, in-depth portrait of a country both far more sophisticated and far less rigid than western policymakers have yet appreciated -- Lesley Hazleton, author of After the Prophet: the epic story of the Shia-Sunni split No writer knows more about modern Iran than Hooman Majd. Nor does any other commentator write more cogently, or more beautifully -- Reza Aslan, author of No god but God and Beyond Fundamentalism
