Beschreibung
This book is at heart a love story: that of a writer for another language. For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which captivated her during a trip to Florence. In 2012 she decided to move to Rome with her family, for "a trial by fire, a sort of baptism" into a new language and world. Presented in a dual-language format, In Other Words is a surprising, powerful and eloquent book about exile, linguistic and otherwise, written with an intensity and clarity not seen since Nabokov.
