Jhumpa Lahiri's debut story collection, Interpreter of Maladies, took the literary world by storm when it won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000. Fans who flocked to her stories will be captivated by her best-selling first novel, now in paperback for the first time. The Namesake is a finely wrought, deeply moving family drama that illuminates this acclaimed author's signature themes: the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the tangled ties between generations.
The Namesake takes the Ganguli family from their tradition-bound life in Calcutta through their fraught transformation into Americans. On the heels of an arranged wedding, Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli settle in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Ashoke does his best to adapt while his wife pines for home. When their son, Gogol, is born, the task of naming him betrays their hope of respecting old ways in a new world. And we watch as Gogol stumbles along the first-generation path, strewn with conflicting loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs.
With empathy and penetrating insight, Lahiri explores the expectations bestowed on us by our parents and the means by which we come to define who we are.

乏善可陈,唯一唯一的好处是让我去读了gogol的overcoat :)
评分好喜欢这本,audiobook performed也非常好,比之前两本短篇都更喜欢。中间听得非常悲伤,觉得里面透露的对生活和爱情都很失望的感觉,还有二代移民的迷茫,从对父母到对自己都有深深的shameful又虚荣却无力的感觉,最后的结尾也很好,一些和解,也意识到人们比想象中都更坚韧。
评分一直没感觉到中国移民适应问题的我,居然被这本书中印度第一代移民的各种不适和他们收到的文化冲击打动了。当然,还是没心没肺没问题的好
评分‘‘A fine-tuned, intimate, and deeply felt novel of identity.’’
评分so vividly brilliant and heartbreakingly relatable
