Mother Mary Comes To Me
Brave and absorbing . . . In this remarkable memoir, the Booker-winning novelist looks back on her bittersweet relationship with her mercurial mother . . . The world described in the first part of the book provides much of the material for The God of Small Things. But these pages aren’t significant for giving us access to Roy’s inspiration, or as a preamble to her life as a bestselling writer who would go on to become an oppositional political voice. Even if she were none of these things or had never written her novel, they would be utterly absorbing. They have a wonderful, self-assured self-sufficiency

Dove mi trovo
Sgomento ed esuberanza, radicamento ed estraneità: i temi di Jhumpa Lahiri in questo libro raggiungono un vertice. La donna al centro della storia oscilla tra immobilità e movimento, tra la ricerca di identificazione con un luogo e il rifiuto, allo stesso tempo, di creare legami permanenti. La città in cui abita, e che la incanta, è lo sfondo vivo delle sue giornate, quasi un interlocutore privilegiato: i marciapiedi intorno a casa, i giardini, i ponti, le piazze, le strade, i negozi, i bar, la piscina che la accoglie e le stazioni che ogni tanto la portano più lontano, a trovare la madre, immersa in una solitudine senza rimedio dopo la morte precoce del padre. E poi ci sono i colleghi di lavoro in mezzo ai quali non riesce ad ambientarsi, le amiche, gli amici, e 'lui', un'ombra che la conforta e la turba. Fino al momento del passaggio. Nell'arco di un anno e nel susseguirsi delle stagioni, la donna arriverà a un 'risveglio', in un giorno di mare e di sole pieno che le farà sentire con forza il calore della vita, del sangue. Questo è il primo romanzo di Jhumpa Lahiri scritto in italiano, con il desiderio di oltrepassare un confine e di innestarsi in una nuova lingua letteraria, andando sempre più al largo. .
