About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Firoozeh Dumas is used to making people laugh, but in 2022, she found herself drowning in tears of sadness. After her 2022 Los Angeles Times article "What I needed was a rest break on the Island of Grieving and Useless Folks" went viral, she was inspired to write Sob, a one-hour audio story about grief, healing, and miracles that will leave you spellbound.

In this unflinching story, Firoozeh Dumas, author of the international best seller Funny in Farsi, takes you into the worst year of her life, which she describes as “a bouillon cube of grief”. After the unexpected break up of her longtime marriage in 2022, Firoozeh finds herself in completely new territory, untethered from the only life she knew as an adult. Using her signature wit, she recounts her highly personal journey through this uncharted and unplanned chapter in her life. Hers is a journey she would have never chosen, but one that ultimately leads her to a deeper truth about herself, to a better place where hope and grace are a daily part of life and where serendipity is always around the corner. Firoozeh’s story will leave you crying, laughing, and pondering some of life’s big questions.

Honest and touching, heartbreaking and inspiring, Firoozeh’s story will resonate with anyone who has found themselves in the dark night of the soul and wondered if there is a way out. You will immediately want to discuss Sob with your friends. It is an experience meant to be shared.

Sob is a must listen. Not sure how Firoozeh Dumas managed to squeeze so much heartbreak and joy into a 49 minute audiobook, but I guess that’s her brilliance as a writer. She truly got to me on every level. It just came out today and I’m already listening to it for a second time.

Firoozeh Dumas has written a masterful, gripping, dynamic story about heartbreak and healing, faith and love. She brings her generous humor and signature wit to heavy questions we all share, and invokes the mystery and magic of life. It's a piece you'll think about long after you listen and will want to send to all your friends. I’ve been a fan since her sensational Funny in Farsi, and this takes the cake — or, as she’d say, the Trader Joe’s Chocolate Bar. Listen to SOB now and thank me later!

Stunning. A masterpiece. Listen NOW!
