Descriere
Jhumpa
Lahiri's
debut
story
collection,Interpreter
of
Maladies,
took
the
literary
world
by
storm
when
it
won
the
Pulitzer
Prize
in
2000.
Fans
who
flocked
to
her
stories
will
be
captivated
by
her
best-selling
first
novel,
now
in
paperback
for
the
first
time.The
Namesakeis
a
finely
wrought,
deeply
moving
family
drama
that
illuminates
this
acclaimed
author's
signature
themes:
the
immigrant
experience,
the
clash
of
cultures,
the
tangled
ties
between
generations.
The
Namesaketakes
the
Ganguli
family
from
their
tradition-bound
life
in
Calcutta
through
their
fraught
transformation
into
Americans.
On
the
heels
of
an
arranged
wedding,
Ashoke
and
Ashima
Ganguli
settle
in
Cambridge,
Massachusetts,
where
Ashoke
does
his
best
to
adapt
while
his
wife
pines
for
home.
When
their
son,
Gogol,
is
born,
the
task
of
naming
him
betrays
their
hope
of
respecting
old
ways
in
a
new
world.
And
we
watch
as
Gogol
stumbles
along
the
first-generation
path,
strewn
with
conflicting
loyalties,
comic
detours,
and
wrenching
love
affairs.
With
empathy
and
penetrating
insight,
Lahiri
explores
the
expectations
bestowed
on
us
by
our
parents
and
the
means
by
which
we
come
to
define
who
we
are.
