Personal blog # 4


Lately, I had read a book named Funny in Farsi and it is one of the most interesting books that I had read so far. The book Funny in Farsi chronicles the American journey of Dumas's wonderful engaging family: her engineer father, a sweetly quixotic dreamer who sough riches on Bowling for Dollars and in Las Vegas; her elegant mother, who never fully mastered English; her uncle, who combated the effects of American fast food with an array 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 mat and married a Frenchmen, becoming art of a one-couple melting pot. An unforgettable story of identity, discovery, and the power of family love, Funny in Farsi will leave you all laughing-without an accent. Also, this book has magnificent detail of human humors and the culture of Iran.

I'm glad you enjoyed the book--and even though you lost it and had to buy another one, I'm glad you did!
