Jasmin Darznik (born c. 1970s) is an Iranian-born American writer. She is the New York Times bestselling author of three books, The Bohemians, Song of a Captive Bird, a novel inspired by the life of Forugh Farrokhzad, Iran's notorious woman poet, and The Good Daughter: A Memoir of My Mother's Hidden Life, which became a New York Times bestseller.[1] A New York Times Book Review "Editors' Choice" and a Los Angeles Times bestseller, Song of a Captive Bird was praised by The New York Times as a "complex and beautiful rendering of [a] vanished country and its scattered people; a reminder of the power and purpose of art; and an ode to female creativity under a patriarchy that repeatedly tries to snuff it out."[2]The Bohemians was selected by Oprah Daily as one of the best historical novels of 2021.[3] Darznik's books have been published in seventeen countries.
She is the chair of the MFA Program in Writing at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco.
