The Namesake
The Namesake (2003) is the debut novel by British-American author Jhumpa Lahiri. It explores many of the same emotional and cultural themes as Lahiri's Pulitzer Prize-winning short story collection Interpreter of Maladies. The novel moves between events in Kolkata, Boston, and New York City, and examines the nuances being caught between two conflicting cultures with distinct religious, social, and ideological differences.
