It is at heart a love story--of a long and sometimes difficult courtship, and a passion that verges on obsession: that of a writer for another language. For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which first captivated and capsized her during a trip to Florence after college. Although Lahiri studied Italian for many years afterward, true mastery always eluded her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeeking full immersion, she decides to move to Rome with her family, for \"a trial by fire, a sort of baptism\" into a new language and world. There, she begins to read, and to write--initially in her journal--solely in Italian. \u003ci\u003eIn Other Words, \u003c\/i\u003e an autobiographical work written in Italian, investigates the process of learning to express oneself in another language, and describes the journey of a writer seeking a new voice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePresented in a dual-language format, this is a wholly original book about exile, linguistic and otherwise, written with an intensity and clarity not seen since Vladimir Nabokov: a startling act of self-reflection and a provocative exploration of belonging and reinvention.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"In Other Words | Jhumpa Lahiri | Hardcover | 9781101875551 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1768805","offer_id":49517679575192,"sku":"1768805","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91w-pqarxOL.jpg?v=1784618092","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/in-other-words","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
