Funny in Farsi

I just finished reading Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas, a humorous, affectionate look at growing up in an Iranian family in the United States. Some of my friends didn't think it was so funny and that it was a bit mean spirited, but I disagree.

Speaking of Iranian women who write, there is a note on the blogspot home page about Lady Sun, the online identity of one of the first Iranian women to start a blog. I can't read pinkfloydish.com myself.
