Let me recommended you a book for familiarizing you more with Iranian culture. a book which has positive feedbacks these days in Iranian blog sphere *

Funny in Farsi : A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America

”Funny in Farsi” involve 20 humorous short stories written by an Iranian woman who immigrated to united state with her family when she was 7.
The writer more focus on Iranian immigrant society in united state and problems of adaption from both side (Iranian and American problems to accept each other)
