As a teenager living in Marin County in the early 1990s, Jasmin Darznik loved driving into San Francisco to wander North Beach. Like so many aspiring writers before her, she’d spend hours in City Lights bookstore and nurse espressos on Columbus Avenue, enamored with the neighborhood’s storied artistic past.
“It was my own bohemia,” Darznik writes in the author’s note to her new historical novel, “The Bohemians,” out Tuesday, April 6. It’s a captivating coming-of-age story of Dorothea Lange before she was a world-famous photographer, and a portrait of complicated post-World War I San Francisco.
