Author Spotlight: Jhumpa Lahiri

Introduction

Follow my Author Spotlight on Jhumpa Lahiri, as I do a deep dive on her books over the next couple of weeks!

📚 Main themes: immigrant experience, identity, and belonging.

📚Lyrical prose, intricate character development

📚Awards:

Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2000: Interpreter of Maladies

Man Booker Prize Shortlist: The Lowland

📚 Translations: She has also translated works from Italian to English. Now she writes almost exclusively in Italian, which, according to me, is a testament to her language skills and versitality!

"كانت تأتي دوماً في ذيل طابور طويل، في ظل الآخرين، ممّا حدا بها إلى الاعتقاد بأنها ليست مميّزة، بما فيه الكفاية، لتحظى بظلّها الخاص."

Bună dimineața! Pentru week-end-ul acesta, am ales cartea “Distanța dintre noi” de Jhumpa Lahiri de la @edituranemira . Doi frați, o singură tragedie. Două civilizații, o singură viață. Un trecut de coșmar, o revoluție, o iubire ce trece dincolo de moarte, un roman despre distanța dintre oameni și lumi și despre imposibila apropiere. Din anii ’60 și până în prezent, din India în America, de la o generație la alta, povestea unei familii se scrie într-o carte ce poartă amprenta inconfundabilă a scriitoarei Jhumpa Lahiri, câștigătoare a Premiului Pulizer. #jhumpalahiri #thelowland #bookoftheweekend https://www.instagram.com/p/B_9cAHNJh56/?igshid=1b44xciazvzzt

Ahh! I just realized both Meadow!JK and TheLowlander!JK fought the leader of their people because of JK being in love with a girl. They both probably also would have lost if it wasn’t for the intervention of someone else. They both also refused to entertain the idea of becoming the next leader when the topic was brought up AND they both ran away like immediately afterward.

Meadow!JK 🤝 TheLowlander!JK

Problems with authority

🍉

😬

I'm very amused you hadn't drawn those parallels, YAY! I keep trying to make the stories less similar and then they run back towards each other and hoping readers don't just feel like I'm writing the same story twice. 😬😬 It's just amusing to me too because I don't tend to be thinking about the other story when I'm writing, so I'll plot out what happens next, write a bit, and then be like wait... shit...
