In Other Words is a revelation. It is at heart a love story of a long and sometimes difficult courtship, and a passion that verges on obsession: that of a writer for another language. For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which first captivated and capsized her during a trip to Florence after college. Although Lahiri studied Italian for many years afterwards, true mastery had always eluded her.
Seeking full immersion, she decided to move to Rome with her family, for 'a trial by fire, a sort of baptism' into a new language and world. There, she began to read and to write — initially in her journal — solely in Italian. In Other Words, an autobiographical work written in Italian, investigates the process of learning to express oneself in another language, and describes the journey of a writer seeking a new voice.
Presented in a dual-language format, this is a wholly original book about exile, linguistic and otherwise, written with an intensity and clarity not seen since Vladimir Nabokov: a startling act of self-reflection and a provocative exploration of belonging and reinvention.

    💤Mega kedelig!

    A bit too slow in pace for me. Feels like watching an old movie in slow motion. But it's very personal and detailed.

Citater

    Why do I write? To investigate the mystery of existence. To tolerate myself. To get closer to everything that is outside of me
  • María José Evia H.har citeretfor 4 år siden
    I believe that what can change our life is always outside of us.

    A conversation involves a sort of collaboration and, often, an act of forgiveness.
