The Namesake by Lahiri, Jhumpa Format: PaperbackPublished by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2003 Meet the Ganguli family, new arrivals from Calcutta, trying their best to become Americ ans even as they pine for home. The name they bestow on their firstborn, Gogol, betrays all the conflicts of honoring tradition in a new world--conflicts that will haunt Gogol on his own winding path through divided loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs. InThe Namesake, the Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri brilliantly illuminates the immigrant experience and the tangled ties between generations.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
