Beschrijving
An astonishing collection of short stories set in and around Rome from Jhumpa Lahiri, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
Interpreter of Maladies.
Lahiri [works] over her themes with a precise and controlling intellect . . . These stories are stimulating, elengant, distinctive and thought-provoking
A writer of formidable powers and great depth of feeling
One of the most interesting American writers at work today
Lahiri steps back from the action, gets out of the way, so the people and things in her stories can exist the way real things do: richly, ambiguously, without explanation.
A writer of uncommon elegance and poise
Lahiri has a talent for capturing the everyday
Jhumpa Lahiri is intelligent, astute, informed and genuine
Jhumpa Lahiri is an elegant stylist, effortlessly placing the perfect words in the perfect order time and again so we’re transported seamlessly into another place
Jhumpa Lahiri's writing is wonderful in the literal sense: on every page there is something to take your breath away
Lahiri has an extraordinary voice
Jhumpa Lahiri is the kind of writer who makes you want to grab the next person you see and say “Read this!” She’s a dazzling storyteller with a distinctive voice, an eye for nuance, an ear for irony. She is one of the finest short story writers I’ve read.
An urgent and affecting portrait of Rome in nine stories . . .
Full of humanity and its joys and disappointments, tiny incidents resonate through time and relationships. The city feels like another character, slipping in and out of focus just as the fleeting lives of the characters do too.
Jhumpa Lahiri is the Millicent C. MacIntosh Professor of English and Director of Creative Writing at Barnard College, Columbia University. In 2000, she received the Pulitzer Prize for
Interpreter of Maladies
, her debut story collection. She is also the author of
The Namesake, Unaccustomed Earth
and
The Lowland
, a finalist for the Booker Prize and the National Book Award in Fiction. Since 2015, Lahiri has been writing in Italian:
In altre parole
(
In Other Words
),
Il vestito dei libri
(
The Clothing of Books
),
Dove mi trovo
(self-translated as
Whereabouts
),
Il quaderno di Nerina
and
Racconti romani
(
Roman Stories
). She is also the editor of The Penguin Classics Book of Italian Short Stories, which was published in Italy as
Racconti italiani
.
