27 Jun / Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America by Firoozeh Dumas [in AsianWeek]

An especially timely, highly entertaining look – “I-ran is a sentence, Iran is a country” – at life in Southern California as an Iranian immigrant. Dumas mixes humorous misadventures with chilling memories of racism and loss.

Review: “New and Notable Books,” AsianWeek, June 27, 2009
