<p>Author Firoozeh Dumas describes the difficulty of translating her best-selling book &#8220;Funny in Farsi&#8221; from English into Farsi, so that Iranian censors could clear it for distribution in Iran.</p>

<p>Often lost in the rhetoric of debate about the United States&#8217; immigration policy is this: although each immigrant&#8217;s country of origin and reason for leaving are widely diverse, the experience of being an immigrant in the United States crosses all cultural divides.</p>
<p>For the past five years, Firoozeh Dumas has traveled the country reminding us that our commonalities far outweigh our differences &#8230; and doing so with humor.</p>
<p>In 2001, with no prior writing experience, Firoozeh Dumas decided to write down her family stories as a gift for her two children. Those stories became the book Funny in Farsi, a San Francisco Chronicle and Los Angeles Times bestseller and a finalist for the PEN/USA award and for an Audie Award for best audio book (She lost to Bob Dylan).</p>
<p>She was also a finalist for the prestigious Thurber Prize for American Humor (she lost to Jon Stewart), and is the first Middle Eastern woman ever to be considered for this honor.</p>
<p>Dumas&#8217;s latest book, entitled Laughing Without an Accent, was published in May 2008 &#8211; Grace Cathedral</p>
