Review of Laughing without an Accent

An old piece, but what a joy listening to a first-time author talk about her life and her journey to getting published. The piece is tight and the trip to New York City to publicize the book release was a hoot. Upbeat is not a strong enough word to describe Firoozeh Dumas. Her audio diary is inspiring without having a hint of pretention, a rarity among published writers if you know any. Must listen for writers and readers equally.
