Pulitzer Prize winning fiction-writer Jhumpa Lahiri’s first non-fiction book is on language. Lahiri conceives of the world of language as a world in and of itself in which the learner and the practitioner is like a traveler, a citizen, an immigrant or an exile. Lahiri volunteers out of passion to be a citizen of Italian language. The book is a memoir of her experience traversing the landscape of Italian.
The New Yorker had published an excerpt from the book last year, while the NYT has reviewed the book.
