In Other Words by Jhumpa Lahiri
National Best Seller On a post-college visit to Florence, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri fell in love with the Italian language. Twenty years later, seeking total immersion, she and her family relocated to Rome, where she began to read and write solely in her adopted tongue. A startling act of self-reflection, In Other Words is Lahiri's meditation on the process of learning to express herself in another language--and the stunning journey of a writer seeking a new voice.Jhumpa Lahiri was born in the United Kingdom to Bengali parents and spent her childhood and adolescence in the United States. She is the author of four narrative books: El buen nombre, El intérprete del dolor, Tierra desacostumbrada, and La hondonada, the last three of which were published by Salamandra. In other words, this is his first non-fiction work. She has won the Pulitzer Prize, the PEN/Hemingway Award, and the Frank O#Connor Award. In 2012, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and in 2015, he was awarded the National Medal of Humanities.
