Jhumpa Lahiri
Nilanjana Sudeshna "Jhumpa" Lahiri(born
on July 11, 1967) is an American author. Lahiri has been selected as the winner of the
29th PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in the Short story. Lahiri's debut short
story collection Interpreter of Maladies (1999) won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and her first novel, The Namesake (2003), was adapted into the popular film of the same name. She was born Nilanjana
Sudeshna but goes by her nickname Jhumpa. Lahiri was a member
of the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities, appointed by U.S.
President Barack Obama. (She resigned from the President's Committee in
August, 2017, co-signing a letter of resignation that said in reference to
President Trump, "Ignoring your hateful rhetoric would have made us
complicit in your words and actions.") Her book The Lowland, published in 2013, was a nominee for the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Award
for Fiction. Lahiri is currently a professor of creative writing
at Princeton University.
Childhood & Early Life
·
Lahiri
was born in London, the daughter of Bengali Indian emigrants from the
state of West Bengal. Her family moved to the United States when she
was two; Lahiri considers herself an American, stating, "I wasn't born
here, but I might as well have been." Lahiri grew up in Kingston, Rhode Island, where her father Amar Lahiri works as a librarian
at the University of Rhode Island; he is the basis for the protagonist in "The
Third and Final Continent," the closing story from Interpreter of Maladies. Lahiri's mother wanted her children to grow
up knowing their Bengali heritage, and her family often visited
relatives in Calcutta (now Kolkata).
·
When
she began kindergarten in Kingston, Rhode Island, Lahiri's teacher decided to call her by her pet name, Jhumpa, because it was easier to pronounce than
her "proper name." Lahiri recalled, "I always felt so
embarrassed by my name.... You feel like you're causing someone pain just by
being who you are." Lahiri's ambivalence over her identity was the
inspiration for the ambivalence of Gogol, the protagonist of her novel The
Namesake, over his unusual name. Lahiri graduated from South Kingstown High Schooland received her B.A. in English literature
from Barnard
College in
1989.
·
Lahiri
then received multiple degrees from Boston
University: an
M.A. in English, an M.F.A. in Creative Writing, an M.A. in Comparative
Literature, and a Ph.D. in Renaissance Studies. She took a fellowship at
Provincetown's Fine Arts Work Center, which lasted for the next two years (1997–1998).
Lahiri has taught creative writing at Boston
Universityand
the Rhode Island School of Design.
·
In
2001, Lahiri married Alberto Vourvoulias-Bush, a journalist who was then deputy
editor of TIME Latin America, and who is now senior editor
of TIME Latin America. Lahiri lives in Rome with her husband and their two children,
Octavio (b. 2002) and Noor (b. 2005). Lahiri joined the Princeton University
faculty on July 1, 2015 as a professor of creative writing in the Lewis Center
for the Arts.
Career
·
Lahiri's early short stories faced rejection from publishers
"for years." Her debut short story collection, Interpreter of Maladies, was finally released in 1999.
The stories address sensitive dilemmas in the lives of Indians or Indian
immigrants, with themes such as marital difficulties, the bereavement over a
stillborn child, and the disconnection between first and second generation
United States immigrants.
·
In 2003, Lahiri published The Namesake, her first novel. The story spans over 30 years in the life of the
Ganguli family. The Calcutta-born parents immigrated as young adults to the
United States, where their children, Gogol and Sonia, grow up experiencing the
constant generational and cultural gap with their parents. A film adaptation of The Namesake was
released in March 2007, directed by Mira Nair and starring Kal Penn as Gogol and Bollywood stars Tabu and Irrfan Khan as his parents. Lahiri herself made a cameo as
"Aunt Jhumpa."
·
Lahiri has also had a distinguished relationship with The New Yorker magazine in which she has published a number of
her short stories, mostly fiction, and a few non-fiction including The
Long Way Home; Cooking Lessons, a story about the importance of food
in Lahiri's relationship with her mother.
·
In December 2015, Lahiri published a non-fiction essay
called "Teach
Yourself Italian" in The New Yorker about her experience learning Italian. In the
essay she declared that she is now only writing in Italian, and the essay
itself was translated from Italian to English.
·
Jhumpa Lahiri was judged as the winner of the DSC Prize for
South Asian Literature 2015 for her book The Lowland (Vintage Books/ Random
House, India) at the Zee Jaipur Literature Festival for which she entered Limca
Book of Records.

Major
Work
·
Lahiri's writing is characterized by her "plain"
language and her characters, often Indian immigrants to America who must
navigate between the cultural values of their homeland and their adopted
home. Lahiri's fiction is autobiographical and frequently draws upon
her own experiences as well as those of her parents, friends, acquaintances,
and others in the Bengali communities with which she is familiar. Lahiri examines
her characters' struggles, anxieties, and biases to chronicle the nuances and
details of immigrant psychology and behavior.
·
Lahiri worked on the third season of the HBO television
program In Treatment. That season featured a character
named Sunil, a widower who moves to the United States from India and struggles
with grief and with culture shock. Although she is credited as a writer on
these episodes, her role was more as a consultant on how a Bengali man might
perceive Brooklyn.

Personal
Life & Legacy
· Until Unaccustomed Earth, she focused
mostly on first-generation Indian American immigrants and their struggle to raise a family in a
country very different from theirs. Her stories describe their efforts to keep
their children acquainted with Indian culture
and traditions and
to keep them close even after they have grown up in order to hang onto the
Indian tradition of a joint family, in which the parents, their children and the
children's families live under the same roof.
· Unaccustomed Earth departs from this earlier original ethos, as
Lahiri's characters embark on new stages of development. These stories scrutinize the fate of the second and third generations. As succeeding generations become
increasingly assimilated into American culture and are comfortable in
constructing perspectives outside of their country of origin, Lahiri's fiction
shifts to the needs of the individual. She shows how later generations depart
from the constraints of their immigrant parents, who are often devoted to their
community and their responsibility to other immigrants.
