Iranican Dream by Siamack Baniameri

Iranican Dream by Siamack Baniameri is an hilarious journey inside the mind of an Iranian-American man whose world is comprised of lavish encounters with bizarre characters in some of the most outlandish circumstances.

Baniameri brings to the spotlight a fresh breed of Middle Eastern immigrant in America who inadvertently gets himself in comical situations by constantly plotting to sabotage his ex-wife's relationships, preventing his teenage daughter from dating boys, pestering women to go out with him, and manipulating his best friend to participate in his tedious schemes.

Siamack Baniameri is a rocket scientist at NASA where he supervises top secret government space projects. Baniameri is also a professor of economics and a fellow at Harvard where he heads departments of Biology, Geology, Anthropology, Apology and all the other departments that end with "ology." He is on the boards of directors of multiple multinational companies. In his spare time, Siamack Baniameri advises world leaders such as George W. and Tony Blair on world affairs and foreign policy. Well, that's what his mom thinks.

In reality, Siamack Baniameri works for a plasma television manufacturer as a plasma donor. Prior to that, Baniameri worked at a sperm bank as a sperm donor. He was subsequently terminated after numerous complaints from customers about the low quality of the sperm. Many of the infants were returned for a refund.

Baniameri, a militant nudist Buddhist, has devoted his entire life to organizing support groups for men with hideous circumcisions. He also heads a nonprofit organization called, "Middle Eastern men for better body hair removal products." Baniameri has traveled the world looking for the answer to the most fundamental question asked by every man: where the heck is the remote control?

The following is a quote from the book review by Teresa Comacho of Iranican Dream by Siamack Baniameri.

The life of the Iranian man, or, as many like to call themselves, Persian man, in the United States is documented in a politically incorrect and raucous manner through stereotypes and constructs that only those who are not WASPs would understand.

Baniameri provides the reader with much laughter at the expense of the Iranian man and that means himself, so one knows he has a sense of humour even when poking fun at his country's politics, religion, culture and social traditions. He also makes those not familiar with Iranian culture just more interested – at least on a superficial level.
