Writer's Biography/Prifile: Jhumpa Lahiri
Jhumpa Lahiri earned fame and recognition with her debut book Interpreter of Maladies which not only received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1999 but was also cordially appreciated by readers and critics equally. She was 32 then and presently she is considered the most popular Indian-American writer throughout. Jhumpa was born on July 11, 1967 in London and three years later her parents relocated themselves in the United States. The family settled in Rhode Island because her father worked at the University of Rhode Island as a librarian. Her family set-up was purely Bengali culture-minded while her school environment was typically Americanized in essence. Jhumpa has habitually used her nickname in practice rather than her good name because it is more convenient for Americans to pronounce it, quite similar to her protagonist model Gogol in The Namesake. Jhumpa was educated at Barnard College and thereafter she organized herself and prepared the ground for fiction writing by obtaining degrees like M.A.s in creative writing, English, and comparative literature and a Ph.D. in Renaissance studies subsequently. Besides acquiring the Pulitzer Prize, her Interpreter of Maladies received the PEN/Hemingway Award and the O. Henry Award. Her next book Namesake concentrated on the issue of first generation of children born in the United States, very much relevant to her own upbringing in the country to her immigrant parents. Her memories and experiences are accumulated from two different worlds, one from her country of residence and the other from Kolkata, the original homeland of Lahiris. The Namesake is actually a search for identity or roots. The son of the immigrant family is bewildered to choose between two cultural streams, one Bengali and the other American and he is in constant self-examination to locate his self. Jhumpa’s second collection of short stories Unaccustomed Earth was published in 2008 which topped New York Times bestseller list. View or Read more books of Jhumpa Lahiri
