    Pulitzer-winning, scintillating studies in yearning and exile from a Bengali Bostonian woman of immense promise.A couple exchange unprecedented confessions during nightly blackouts in their Boston apartment as they struggle to cope with a heartbreaking loss; a student arrives in new lodgings in a mystifying new land and, while he awaits the arrival of his arranged-marriage wife from Bengal, he finds his first bearings with the aid of the curious evening rituals that his centenarian landlady orchestrates; a schoolboy looks on while his childminder finds that the smallest dislocation can unbalance her new American life all too easily and send her spiralling into nostalgia for her homeland...Jhumpa Lahiri's prose is beautifully measured, subtle and sober, and she is a writer who leaves a lot unsaid, but this work is rich in observational detail, evocative of the yearnings of the exile (mostly Indians in Boston here), and full of emotional pull and reverberation.

    A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORKER, NPR • The first short story collection by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author and master of the form since her number one New York Times best seller Unaccustomed Earth • Rome—metropolis and monument, suspended between past and future, multi-faceted and metaphysical—is the protagonist, not the setting, of these nine stories"A delectable, sun-washed treat . . . the stories have the beating heart of the city itself, a place of magnificent decay and vibrant, varied life." —VogueIn “The Boundary,” one family vacations in the Roman countryside, though we see their lives through the eyes of the caretaker’s daughter, who nurses a wound from her family’s immigrant past. In “P’s Parties,” a Roman couple, now empty nesters, finds comfort and community with foreigners at their friend’s yearly birthday gathering—until the husband crosses a line.And in “The Steps,” on a public staircase that connects two neighborhoods and the residents who climb up and down it, we see Italy’s capital in all of its social and cultural variegations, filled with the tensions of a changing city: visibility and invisibility, random acts of aggression, the challenge of straddling worlds and cultures, and the meaning of home.These are splendid, searching stories, written in Jhumpa Lahiri’s adopted language of Italian and seamlessly translated by the author and by Knopf editor Todd Portnowitz. Stories steeped in the moods of Italian master Alberto Moravia and guided, in the concluding tale, by the ineluctable ghost of Dante Alighieri, whose words lead the protagonist toward a new way of life.

    Von der Sehnsucht nach einer besseren Welt und vom Fremdsein in der schönsten aller Städte: Rom. Das neue Buch der vielfach ausgezeichneten Pulitzerpreisträgerin und «Meisterin der Kurzgeschichte» ( Die Welt ). Ein Mann erinnert sich an eine Sommerparty, die eine andere Version seiner selbst zum Leben erweckt hat. Ein Paar, das von einem tragischen Verlust heimgesucht wird, kehrt nach Rom zurück, um Trost zu suchen. Eine Außenseiterfamilie wird aus dem Wohnblock vertrieben, in dem sie sich niederzulassen gehofft hat. Eine Treppe in einem römischen Viertel verbindet das tägliche Leben der unzähligen Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner der Stadt.  Dieses Buch ist ein eindrucksvolles Fresko von Rom, der verführerischsten Stadt von allen: widersprüchlich, in ständigem Wandel und ein Zuhause für diejenigen, die wissen, dass sie nicht ganz dazugehören können, sich aber trotzdem dafür entscheiden. «Das Wiedersehen» ist ein meisterhaftes Werk einer der großen Schriftstellerinnen unserer Zeit. Jhumpa Lahiri hat es in ihrer geliebten Wahlsprache Italienisch verfasst und erzählt wie keine andere von Heimat und Zugehörigkeit. «Eine wunderschöne, elegante Prosa, Figuren, die von Leid, Isolation, Verlust, großen und kleinen Tragödien heimgesucht werden, und vor allem eine alles durchdringende, tiefe Menschlichkeit.» Khaled Hosseini

    Questa è la storia di un colpo di fulmine, di un lungo corteggiamento, di una passione profonda: quella di una scrittrice per una lingua straniera. Jhumpa Lahiri è una giovane neolaureata quando visita per la prima volta Firenze; appena sente parlare l'italiano capisce che le è stranamente familiare, che le è necessario e deve apprenderlo. Non sa spiegarsi il perché di un simile, repentino bisogno, ma sa che farà di tutto per soddisfarlo. Dapprima prova a studiare l'italiano nella sua città, New York, con una serie di insegnanti private, ma non basta. Anche le brevi visite successive, a Mantova, Milano, Venezia, non la appagano: vuole immergersi completamente nella realtà della nuova lingua. Si trasferisce a Roma, con tutta la famiglia. E lì comincia la vera avventura, fatta di slanci, entusiasmo e insieme di difficoltà ed estraniamento. "In altre parole" è il primo libro che nasce direttamente in italiano da un'autrice di madrelingua bengalese che ha sempre parlato e scritto in inglese. È la testimonianza di un tenace percorso di scoperta e di apprendimento e di un obiettivo, raggiunto, di potenza e fluidità espressiva, ancora più preziosa perché conserva tra le righe l'eco affascinante di una distanza, quella che sempre ci separa dall'oggetto d'amore: la distanza impercettibile e infinita del desiderio. Tutti i capitoli che compongono il libro, tranne l'ultimo, sono stati precedentemente pubblicati, in una prima versione sotto forma di articoli, su "Internazionale".
