Tehrangeles

As featured on KIRN 670AM Persian Radio Los Angeles. Iran, 1979. The US-backed monarchy is overthrown in the biggest popular revolution in human history. Hundreds of thousands of Iranians leave the country. And where do the largest number go? Los Angeles. Tehrangeles tells the story of this migration and the community that has evolved as a result: the real estate moguls, the popstars, the opulent elites of Beverly Hills, plus ordinary people trying to find a home and an identity in America. Told through the eyes of its hapless narrator Josh, an American student who has fallen in love with an Iranian girl at college, Tehrangeles is simultaneously a hilarious romantic comedy and an exploration of one of the most important immigrant communities in America. If you liked the film My Big Fat Greek Wedding or the reality series Shahs of Sunset, you'll be fascinated by Tehrangeles. All proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to support Climate Ed (www.climateed.net), a charity educating children about climate change.
