September Book Discussion: The Namesake
The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri will be discussed at 3pm, Saturday, September 18 at the Sequim Branch Library.
Lahiri’s beautiful prose draws you into the story of Gogol, the son of immigrants from India. The novel is about the gap between Gogol and his family -- he born into America and wanting to fit in with our society, his parents unable to let go of the land they knew and the customs they grew up with. Gogol spends his life distancing himself from them and their ways, somewhat desperately trying to assimilate himself to the American way of life. Lahiri offers a number of beautiful and moving tableaus and her descriptions of food--Indian, French and American--are decadent and delectable.
Copies of The Namesake are available for check-out at the Library. Pre-registration is not required and drop-ins are always welcome.
