The Lost Father is an autobiographical fiction novel written by American novelist Mona Simpson. It is the sequel to Simpson's first novel, Anywhere But Here, and based on her real search for her father, Abdulfattah "John" Jandali. It also contains a fictionalized portrait of her mother, Joanne Carole Schieble.
Jandali and Schieble were also Steve Jobs' birth parents, having given him for adoption before Simpson was born, although this fact does not appear in the novel, and Simpson did not tell Jandali about Jobs.
