Acerca de este título
In a series of deftly drawn scenes Funny in Farsi chronicles the American journey of Dumas' wonderfully engaging family: her engineer father, a sweetly quixotic dreamer who first sought riches on Bowling for Dollars and in Las Vegas; her elegant mother, who never fully mastered English (nor cared to); her uncle, who combated the effects of American fast food with an army of miraculous American weight-loss gadgets; and Firoozeh herself, who as a girl changed her name to Julie, and who encountered a second wave of culture shock when she met and married a Frenchman, becoming part of a one-couple melting pot.
An unforgettable story of identity, discovery, and the power of family love, Funny in Farsi will leave us all laughing without an accent.

"A humorous and introspective chronicle of a life filled with love, of family, country, and heritage." (Jimmy Carter)
