Find out what you don't know about the Middle East, as Neil MacFar- quhar, Libyan-raised Times correspondent and author of The Media Relations Department of Hizbollah Wishes You a Happy Birthday [interview here]; and Lucette Lagnado, author of The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit, a Sami Rohr Prize-winning memoir of growing up Jewish in Egypt [interview here], reflect on the oddities, eccentrics, and (lesser known) tragedies of the region.
