2024: From Joy to Grief and Back Again
FIROOZEH DUMAS is used to being funny. But when her husband left their longtime marriage, the author of Funny in Farsi and It Ain’t So Awful, Falafel was capsized by grief, the deepest, darkest grief she had ever experienced. The year was 2022 and it was, as she tells us in Sob, her one-hour Audible.com audio story, the worst year of her life, one that left her crumpled in unstoppable tears. In what will no doubt be a magical one-woman performance piece, Dumas will read that story to us—carrying us through the sorrow to the light and laughter on the other side.
