Reading and Interpreting the Works of Jhumpa Lahiri (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9780766083646)

Jhumpa Lahiri understands what it means to be caught between two cultures. Born in London to Indian immigrants, she has spent most of her life in the United States but still struggles to feel "American." This is the challenge facing many new Indian Americans, and it is the focal point of Lahiri's novels and stories, which examine various aspects of the culture clashes that come from being a newcomer in a foreign land. This insightful guide takes readers through Lahiri's main works, giving in-depth analysis along with biographical and historical context, and providing insight into the compelling works of this critically acclaimed author.
