El buen nombre

El buen nombre Image

Un niño de padres bengalíes, nacionalidad estadounidense y nombre ruso en busca de un lugar, una voz y un nombre.

La primera novela de la aclamada autora de El intérprete del dolor.

Tras la lenta recuperación de un terrible accidente ferroviario y un matrimonio arreglado con la joven Ashima, Ashoke Ganguli decide abandonar su cómoda y previsible existencia en Calcuta, aceptar una beca en el Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts y mudarse con su esposa a Boston. Allí nacerá su primer hijo, que por azares del destino acabará llevando por nombre Gógol en honor al célebre escritor ruso. El niño, hijo de bengalíes, ciudadano estadounidense y de nombre ruso, crecerá entre korma y hamburguesas, música de los Beatles y clases de bengalí, viajes a Calcuta, donde a él y a su hermana se los considera extranjeros, y ritos hindúes celebrados en suelo estadounidense; pero, sobre todo, crecerá extrañado y perplejo ante su propio nombre.

La crítica ha dicho...
«Extraordinario... un libro que convierte en oro la paja de la vida cotidiana. La prosa calmada y grácil, las vastas extensiones de escritura cristalina, el elegante tono pianissimo... todo lleva al lector de principio a fin, formando un arco nítido. Cada detalle, cada observación, cada frase brilla con la claridad de la verdad. El buen nombre es una novela que nos hace sentir privilegiados de tener acceso a su mundo, inmensamente empático».
The Times

«La clase de escritor que te hace querer agarrar a la persona que tienes al lado y decir "¡Lea esto!"».
Amy Tan

«Una prosa refinada, grácil y empática... cada uno de los personajes de Lahiri teje su propia identidad, lo que hace que esta resonante historia no seaúnicamente asiática ni únicamente estadounidense, sino tierna e irónicamente humana».
Hephzibah Anderson, The Observer

What a rollercoaster of emotions! I laughed, cried, and everything in between. The author's ability to evoke such raw feelings is truly commendable. It's a story that will stay with me forever.
