This American Woman by Zarna Garg

Product Details

About the Book

This American Woman turns award-winning comedian Zarna Garg's astonishing real life into a wildly entertaining, deeply honest memoir. Growing up in India, everyone called Zarna "so American" simply for reading the newspaper, having deep thoughts, and talking back to anyone over the age of thirty. When her father tried to marry her off at just fourteen years old following her mother's early death, Zarna refused, choosing instead to flee first to the streets of Mumbai and ultimately, once her U.S. student visa finally came through, to Akron, Ohio, where she got to become American for real.

From there, Zarna spilled all the chai on her wild, winding path through roles as varied as dog-bite lawyer, perfectionist stay-at-home "tiger mom," Indian matchmaker, and prize-winning screenwriter, before a dare led her to a stand-up comedy open mic and she finally found her true calling, getting paid, as she puts it, for her "big fat mouth." Blending genuine hardship with her signature comedic voice, Garg's memoir traces her journey from homelessness and an arranged-marriage escape to becoming America's first Indian immigrant mom comedian, bursting onto the scene with her hit special One in a Billion. Praised by comedy heavyweights including Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, and Tina Fey, This American Woman is at once laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely moving, an exuberant story about fighting for the right to determine your own destiny and proof that it's never too late to bet on yourself.
