The incredible bestselling first novel from Pulitzer Prize- winning
author, Jhumpa Lahiri. 'The kind of writer who makes you want to
grab the next person and say "Read this!"' Amy Tan 'When her
grandmother learned of Ashima's pregnancy, she was particularly
thrilled at the prospect of naming the family's first sahib. And so
Ashima and Ashoke have agreed to put off the decision of what to
name the baby until a letter comes...' For now, the label on his
hospital cot reads simply BABY BOY GANGULI. But as time passes and
still no letter arrives from India, American bureaucracy takes over
and demands that 'baby boy Ganguli' be given a name. In a panic,
his father decides to nickname him 'Gogol' - after his favourite
writer. Brought up as an Indian in suburban America, Gogol Ganguli
soon finds himself itching to cast off his awkward name, just as he
longs to leave behind the inherited values of his Bengali parents.
And so he sets off on his own path through life, a path strewn with
conflicting loyalties, love and loss... Spanning three decades and
crossing continents, Jhumpa Lahiri's debut novel is a triumph of
humane story-telling. Elegant, subtle and moving, The Namesake is
for everyone who loved the clarity, sympathy and grace of Lahiri's
Pulitzer Prize-winning debut story collection, Interpreter of
Maladies.
