FIROOZEH DUMAS
Wednesday, May 21 at 7 p.m. at Microsoft Auditorium, Seattle Public Library, 1000 Fourth Avenue

Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Making this welcome Seattle return to a place that is a bit like home (there is family here) is Iran-born author Firoozeh Dumas. Her book debut, the memoir Funny in Farsi, has been an ongoing reader favorite. She is back, here tonight with her newest, a book of tales and stories about being of Iran, of U.S., of ... the world, Laughing Without an Accent: Adventures of an Iranian American, at Home and Abroad (Villard). Life lived with some zest and zing—some good humor, too—is in these pages. "These stories, like everything Firoozeh Dumas writes, are charming, highly amusing vignettes of family life. Dumas is one of those rare people—a gifted storyteller." – Alexander McCall Smith. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Seattle Public Central Library is located at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). Special $5 parking coupons for use in the Central Library garage are available on a limited basis for those attending the reading.
