Book description
Throughout Zarna's whole childhood in India, everyone called her "so American" just for reading the newspaper, having deep thoughts, and talking back to anyone over the age of thirty. When Zarna's dad tried to marry her off at age fourteen, Zarna fled--first to the streets of Mumbai and ultimately to the glittering paradise of Akron, Ohio, where she got to become American for real.On Zarna's very American quest to find herself and her calling, she threw herself wholeheartedly into roles like dog-bite lawyer, crazy perfectionist stay-at-home mom, Indian matchmaker, prizewinning screenwriter, and more. It wasn't until a dare led her to a stand-up comedy open mic that Zarna finally found her spiritual home: getting paid cold hard cash for her big fat mouth.And as Zarna discovered, after surviving the brutal streets of Mumbai, the cutthroat world of stand-up comedy is nothing. This American Woman is an exuberant story of fighting for your right to determine your own destiny and triumphing beyond what you ever dreamed was possible. Zarna's mantra becomes a call to action: It's never too late. If Zarna can do it, you can, too.About the AuthorComedian Zarna Garg is a force of nature with a microphone. This Indian immigrant mom brought her sharp, relatable family humor to her streaming special, One in a Billion. Her follow-up special Practical People Win is coming from Hulu in 2025, and CBS is developing her sitcom Zarna, produced by Mindy Kaling and Kevin Hart. When Zarna's not slaying at the Comedy Cellar or opening for icons like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, she's selling out headlining shows worldwide. Zarna's Tonight Show and Late Night interviews are among the most watched online. Her acting debut in the hit SXSW film A Nice Indian Boy also earned rave reviews. Her hugely popular Zarna Garg Family Podcast explores modern family life with her husband and kids. With millions of social media followers and billions of views, Zarna just can't stop laughing her way to the top.
