In Other Words<\/em>is the first non fiction book written by Jhumpa Lahiri. She pens down the story of her decision to master the Italian language after spending a life as the daughter of immigrant Indian parents in America which left her with no sense of belonging to either side. The book is written in Italian and translated into English by Ann Goldstein, editor at The NewYorker.<\/p>\n

In Other Words <\/em>is a journey<\/h3>\n
The book takes you on a journey with Jhumpa Lahiri as she talks about how she developed a fascination for Italian and the reasons for her decision to write in Italian rather than English when she is at the peak of her success. While many critics feel this to\u00a0be a rash and unwise decision, Jhumpa puts forth her reasons for doing so in a convincing manner.<\/p>\n
