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.

評分so vividly brilliant and heartbreakingly relatable
評分感覺沒她的短篇小說好。其實我寜願重點放在父子關係上,我最喜歡的地方都是父子互動,比如說結尾。

評分最糾結又蛋疼又像我的小說瞭。其中女配角因為不能適應父母文化和移民文化,乾脆在第三文化找尋錶達方式。。然後結婚本來不想隨父母的意思堅決要找美國人 最後還是找迴自己群體的一員。。成功文藝青年的生活也不過爾爾。結局真是唏噓。
