Salon.com writer and former speechwriter for the Israeli government, Gregory Levey, will read from and discuss his wickedly funny new book, "Shut Up, I'm Talking: And Other Diplomacy Lessons I Learned in the Israeli Government."

When Levey was a 25-year-old law student in New York, he applied for an internship at the Israeli consulate and instead ended up writing speeches for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in Jerusalem at one of the most turbulent times in Middle East history.

Wit and wisdom mingle in this hilarious true-life adventure.
