Books: Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas and Born Standing Up by Steve Martin
In today's episode of It’s Always Funny in California, we discussed the memoirs Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas and Born Standing Up by Steve Martin. The book Funny in Farsi details Firoozeh’s life, and her experiences of growing up as an immigrant, learning to love her culture, her family, and more. Born Standing Up discusses Steve’s life, both through his jobs in comedy, and the quieter parts of his life that before now were left unknown. Through our readings, we found many interesting sections, plots, and characters that we further explored in the podcast. Today, we discussed the themes present in both, the styles of storytelling, the use of characterization and more! We hope you enjoy it!
