Firoozeh Dumas,
author of
"Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America",
decided to write her stories as a gift to her children.
"Funny in Farsi" was on the SF Chronicle and LA Times best
seller lists and is now on the California Recommended
Reading List and is used in many junior high, high schools
and universities. For the past four years, Dumas has
traveled the country reminding us that our commonalities far
outweigh our differences...and doing so with humor. In 2005,
Dumas's one-woman show "Laughing Without an Accent" opened
in Northern California to sold out audiences. ABC is
currently making a sitcom based on "Funny in Farsi".
