Description: Roman Stories by Jhumpa Lahiri, Todd Portnowitz Jhumpa Lahiri, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Interpreter of Maladies, returns to the form of short stories with an astonishing work of fiction, set in and around Rome. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description From the internationally bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Interpreter of Maladies comes an exquisitely crafted work of fiction. Jhumpa Lahiri sets her gaze on the eternally beautiful city, illuminating the frailties of the human condition and dissecting lives lived on the margins.A man recalls a summer party that awakens an alternative version of himself. A couple haunted by a tragic loss return to seek consolation. An outsider family is pushed out of the block in which they hoped to settle. A set of steps in a Roman neighbourhood connects the daily lives of the citys myriad inhabitants. This is an evocative fresco of Rome, the most alluring character of all: contradictory, in constant transformation and a home to those who know they cant fully belong but choose it anyway.Rich with Lahiris signature gifts, Roman Stories is a masterful work from one of the finest writers of our time.Translated from the Italian by Jhumpa Lahiri and Todd Portnowitz Author Biography Jhumpa Lahiri, a bilingual writer and translator, received the Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for Interpreter of Maladies, her debut story collection. She is also the author of The Namesake, Unaccustomed Earth, and The Lowland, which was a finalist for both the Booker Prize and the National Book Award in fiction. Review A writer of formidable powers and great depth of feeling * The Observer *One of the most interesting American writers at work today * The Sunday Times *Lahiri steps back from the action, gets out of the way, so the people and things in her stories can exist the way real things do: richly, ambiguously, without explanation. * Time *A writer of uncommon elegance and poise * The New York Times *Lahiri has a talent for capturing the everyday * Spectator *Jhumpa Lahiri is intelligent, astute, informed and genuine * The Irish Times *Jhumpa Lahiri is an elegant stylist, effortlessly placing the perfect words in the perfect order time and again so were transported seamlessly into another place * Vanity Fair *Jhumpa Lahiris writing is wonderful in the literal sense: on every page there is something to take your breath away * Sainsburys Magazine *Lahiri has an extraordinary voice -- Salman RushdieJhumpa Lahiri is the kind of writer who makes you want to grab the next person you see and say "Read this!" Shes a dazzling storyteller with a distinctive voice, an eye for nuance, an ear for irony. She is one of the finest short story writers Ive read. -- Amy Tan Promotional Jhumpa Lahiri, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Interpreter of Maladies, comes to Picador with an astonishing work of fiction, set in and around Rome.
