“«Jhumpa Lahiri disegna con precisione e tenerezza un personaggio in bilico fra tradizione e modernità, marginalità e voglia di appartenenza.»
la Repubblica

«Un intimo ritratto di famiglia... Stupefacente.»
The New York Times

«Ha un talento - magico, intuitivo - per cui molti scrittori ucciderebbero.»
The Guardian

«Il primo, eccellente romanzo di Jhumpa Lahiri è l'opera di una grande scrittrice, acuta, sorprendente e profondamente umana. È anche una storia per i nostri tempi.»
Evening Standard

Ashoke Ganguli sta leggendo un racconto di Gogol, quando il treno su cui viaggia deraglia nella campagna bengalese. E proprio le pagine di quel libro, che nel buio attirano l’attenzione dei soccorritori, lo sottraggono miracolosamente alla morte. Anni dopo, trasferitosi negli Stati Uniti con la moglie, decide di chiamare il primo figlio Gogol, in omaggio all’autore che gli ha salvato la vita. Il ragazzo non capisce le ragioni di questa scelta, trova il nome insulso e imbarazzante e fa di tutto per liberarsene, allontanandosi anche dai genitori e dalle tradizioni di famiglia, fino a quando un evento tragico lo obbliga a ritornare sui suoi passi. In questo romanzo Jhumpa Lahiri presenta un originale affresco sul tema del meticciato e sulla sensazione di smarrimento che spesso caratterizza la vita da emigrati.

Readers' opinions about L’omonimo by Jhumpa Lahiri

The characters in this book felt like old friends, and I was sad to say goodbye to them at the end. It's a testament to the author's talent for creating memorable and relatable personas.

This is a book I'll cherish and recommend to everyone. It touched my soul and made me reflect on life's profound mysteries.

The plot was incredibly well-crafted, with twists and turns that kept me hooked until the very last page. It was impossible to predict what would happen next.
