Recommended article: Interview with Jhumpa Lahiri
“The immense literary talent of Jhumpa Lahiri (London, 1967) is based on the fact that he is able to tell the same story over and over again, stories of Indian immigrants on the East Coast of the United States, and that it is always different. Critics have compared her to a miniaturist for her ability to accurately describe a small world while making it universal. But her stories are much more, they remain floating in the memory for hours, for days because, deep down, they touch on the most important issues in life: love, family and identity. ”
