Diane Rehm Book Club: "Roman Stories" by Jhumpa Lahiri
For Diane's July 2024 Book Club, she is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri for a discussion of her most recent work, "Roman Stories."
The collection is made up of nine short stories, which the author originally wrote in Italian, then translated to English. Weaving the collection together are questions about identity, foreignness, and definitions of home, themes that might sound familiar to fans of Lahiri’s past work, such as “Interpreter of Maladies” and “The Namesake.”
Named by both NPR and The New Yorker as a best book of 2023, “Roman Stories” has been called “electric,” “remarkable” and a “deeply moving” work about belonging.
