It Ain't So Awful, Falafel is a funny and melancholy growing of age tale that allows us to feel what it's like to grow up Iranian during the 1970s in Southern California. It has straightforward historical facts to boot about the Iran Hostage Crisis. It conveys the responsibilities that immigrants and their children often undertake. Hate mail? Check. Translating for parents? Check. Family and traditional food always holding you down? Check. Here's to never losing hope with the kindness of friends and strangers amid political upheavals that undermine one's humanity.
