Description
A new novel from Jhumpa Lahiri explores the complexities of life's journey. An unnamed narrator, in her middle years, feels lost and uncertain about her place in the world. As she navigates the city around her home, she begins to question her need for attachment and her refusal to form lasting ties. Through a series of encounters with colleagues, acquaintances, and a mysterious figure, Lahiri examines themes of exuberance, dread, attachment, and estrangement. The narrator's journey is marked by moments of solitude and connection, as she searches for meaning and perspective. Set in an unnamed city, this novel marks Lahiri's first work written in Italian and translated into English. It showcases her characteristic deep intelligence and feeling, richly textured landscapes, and a poetics of dislocation.
