More on Jhumpa Lahiri
Description from Wikipedia:
Jhumpa Lahiri (IPA: IPA: //ˈdʒuːm.pʌ lʌˈhɪər.iː//) (born Nilanjana Sudeshna on 11 July 1967) (Bengali: ঝুম্পা লাহিড়ী Jhumpa Lahiŗi) is an American author of Bengali Indian descent. Lahiri's debut short story collection, Interpreter of Maladies (1999), won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and her first novel, The Namesake (2003), was adapted into the popular film of the same name.
Lahiri's writing is characterized by her "plain" language and her characters, often Indian immigrants to America who must navigate between the cultural values of their birthplace and their adopted home.
Her works mostly revolve around Indian emigrant parents to America and their struggle to raise a family in a country very different from theirs. She writes about first-generation immigrant parents' struggles to keep their children acquainted with the Indian culture and traditions. She writes about how the parents struggle to keep their children close to them even after they have grown up in order to hang on to the Indian tradition of a joint family, where the parents, their children and the children’s family live under the same roof. ==Biography==
