GuiltyFeat | Roman Stories by Jhumpa Lahiri - Book review @GuiltyFeat | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
I'm a long-term reader of Lahiri. I find hers to be one of the most fascinating author arcs of any of the authors I have been reading regularly over the past 30 years. Beginning as a clear-eyed recorder of the immigrant experience, she has added a layer of alienation by moving away from the country her parents immigrated into and writing in a foreign language which is then translated into English.
It is a tremendous pairing of art and execution as her literary themes are reflected in the choices she has made about how they will be presented to the reader.
