Laughing Without an Accent by Firoozeh Dumas

A smooth continuation from Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America , Dumas continues to write charming essays on life as an Iranian-American. Laughing Without an Accent: Adventures of a Global Citizen tackles more of her adult life, from choosing to take the television out of the house and the effects of that on her children, to dealing with a mother-in-law who seems like she's out of a Grimm fairy tale.
It all moves along nicely, although there's nothing particularly spectacular about it. Readers who like Funny in Farsi will like this one, and here's hoping that Dumas expands in her next book. She's a talented writer, but memoir writers who keep returning to the same trough make me yawn.
