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.

"The man who gave you his name, from the man who gave you your name."
评分总觉得作者控制不好剧情的发展,写长篇小说还是略微吃力。书中最出色的反而是关于主角父母的支线,只言片语,却打动人心。
评分the title predetermined the whole story.
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。
