Dove mi trovo (Italian Edition)

Product Information

Starting from her previous book In Other Words and advancing the challenge she undertook when she decided to start writing in a language other than English (I am reluctant to use the term ‘mother tongue’ since her mother’s was actually Bengali), she’s driving her no-frills prose to new heights here. Whereabouts is the latest novel by Jhumpa Lahiri that is captivating not only because of the beautiful prose but the dreamlike quality to the book as we follow an unknown narrator through an unknown city in Italy for an entire year.

One day at the sea, both overwhelmed and replenished by the sun's vital heat, her perspective will change.

Her previous three novels which I've read - The Namesake (2003), Unaccustomed Earth (2008) and The Lowland (2013) were all written in English although I have also read her translation of Domenico Starnone's Lacci as Ties (my review: https://www.

I would say it is melancholic at times, depressing at some parts and I would say I felt too bad about the silent loneliness throughout the whole book.

Her first novel, The Namesake, was a New York Times Notable Book, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist, and selected as one of the best books of the year by USA Today and Entertainment Weekly, among other publications. Ho deciso di leggere questo libro dopo aver ascoltato Lucrezia (un'insegnante su YouTube) e la sua raccomandazione. There is a strong presence of aloneness but strength in owning your time and being fine with being alone. And the fifth shining star was given because Lahiri moved to Italy quite a few years ago embracing the country, the culture and the language.The novel takes place during a single year, and our narrator will often remark on the current season. Written in Lahiri's taut concise style, Dove mi trovo (Where I find myself) provides the gradual revelations which typifies much of Lahiri's fiction. E ora rimpiango di non aver assaggiato nulla di quel pasto abbondante di cui non mi hanno lasciato, gentilmente, nemmeno una briciola". Un lbro perfetto per un studente di italiano perche la lingua e moderna anche e possibile leggere ogni capitolo separato. it's funny how much language can shift voice — this felt ferrante-y when nothing else i've read by jhumpa lahiri has ever felt that way.
