Author, Funny in Farsi and Laughing Without an Accent
In conversation with Jaleh Daie
In her first appearance at The Commonwealth Club since Iran's disputed elections, author Dumas returns to talk about life as an Iranian-American. With exuberance, warmth and humor, best-selling author Dumas continues to amuse and delight with her personal reflections and stories growing up as a young Iranian in America. Despite language barriers, culture shock and the blending of traditions with her French husband, Dumas found that our commonalities often outweigh our perceived differences.
