Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Ayser Salman to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss her new book THE WRONG END OF THE TABLE.

Today I interviewed my friend, Ayser Salman, for the second time, because her book – The Wrong End of the Table: A Mostly Comic Memoir of a Muslim Arab American Woman Just Trying to Fit in is coming out on March 5th, so I wanted to have her on to talk about it. She was previously on episode 47, so that was awhile ago and if I am remembering correctly, it was hilarious, and maybe because we were having wine and cheese. So, if you want to hear her entire story, go listen to that episode, or more relevantly, buy her book. Which you can order here.
