This morning, some of you heard my NPR interview on Weekend Edition. For those of you who missed it, cut and paste the link:

I have always been a fan of Scott Simon. That voice…so trustworthy, so smooth, so intelligent, yet approachable! Now that I have been interviewed by him, let me make it official: I love Scott Simon. He is one of the last remaining interviewers who actually reads the whole book before interviewing the author. You have no idea how rare that is! I can’t tell you how many interviews I had for FUNNY IN FARSI where the first question was, “Were you born in Iran?” The first sentence in my book answers that question.
