This American Woman

“I knew This American Woman would be hilarious, because, well, Zarna is the funniest person I know. But I didn’t know it would also be the touching story of a brilliant and brave woman who defied all odds to make it in America. Her memoir will inspire you, make you cry, and laugh so hard it hurts.”—Mindy Kaling, award-winning actress and producer

“Zarna thinks like a lawyer, writes like a mother, and kills like a stand-up.”*—Tina Fey
*If she ever gets canceled on TikTok, I rescind this endorsement.

“Zarna Garg is a force of nature. This American Woman is a deeply honest and hilarious book about how you always win if you bet on yourself.”—Amy Poehler

“Zarna Garg is proof that the funniest voices come from the realest places. Her memoir is a powerhouse—funny, raw, and unputdownable. It’s a must-read for anyone who’s ever dreamed big or never been roasted by an Indian auntie.”—Lilly Singh, comedian and author of How to Be a Bawse

“Zarna, I’m lucky to be somebody who can say “I remember at the early stages how funny she was” and watch the rest of the world catch up to what I knew back then. A star is a star. You don’t discover stars; you just help them. I can’t wait for the world to read your book.”—Kevin Hart

“A laugh-out-loud, heartwarming story of one woman’s quest to survive and find independence. Zarna Garg went from being a stay-at-home immigrant mom to the first immigrant-mom comedian. She will make you feel that anything is possible.”—Padma Lakshmi
