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.
