Coming Events
Exploring India through the Lens of Novelists
Interested in traveling to India but don’t want to leave your cozy armchair? We have launched a book group that focuses on Indian novels. The book discussion is hybrid—in person and on Zoom—and meets every two months on the second Friday of the month at 5:30-6:30 (EST).
Our next book is Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
Jhumpa Lahiri writes brilliantly about the challenges of Indian families who are navigating the divide between traditional Indian culture and contemporary society of a new world. The book consists of nine short stories set in Boston, Bengal, and beyond. The book’s introduction describes the stories as “spiced with humour and subtle detail” and “speak with universal eloquence to anyone who has ever felt the yearnings of exile or the emotional confusion of the outsider.”
Lahiri’s book won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2000.
