Jhumpa Lahiri
Nilanjana Sudeshna "Jhumpa" Lahiri is an American author known for her short stories, novels and essays in English, and, more recently, in Italian. Jhumpa Lahiri was born in London and raised in Rhode Island. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, and author of two previous books. Her debut collection of stories, Interpreter of Maladies, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the PEN/Hemingway Award and The New Yorker Debut of the Year. Her novel The Namesake was a New York Times Notable Book, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist and was selected as one of the best books of the year by USA Today and Entertainment Weekly, among other publications. She lives in Brooklyn, New York. Born on July 11, 1967, in London, United Kingdom, she is the daughter of a Bengali Indian Immigrant. When she was two, her family immigrated to United States. In fact, she considers herself more of an American as she was raised in Kingston, Rhode Island. Her father, who was a librarian at the University of Rhode Island, served as the model for the protagonist in her short story “The Third and Final Continent”. So as not to lose connection with their Bengali roots, her mother often arranged trips to Kolkata to meet their relatives. However, Lahiri felt ambivalent about her Indian heritage.
