Dove mi trovo

Product Information

One should not approach this novel hoping for a plot-driven novel. Dove mi trovo is very much about language. Lahiri's Italian is crisp and deceptively simple. There are observations or conversations that are rendered with clarity, and there are passages that convey a sense of disquiet. While I can't say whether Lahiri always articulated phrases like an Italian would, I didn't notice any Englishism on her part. I loved the way Lahiri articulated her phrases and the correct if démodé terms she used.

Jhumpa Lahiri is working on a new translation of Ovid’s

There were flashes of the type of brilliant insight I expect from a writer of Lahiri's caliber, but they were few and far between. I like the mention of books here and there. I love how the author mentions her love of books in most of her books.Whereabouts was first written in Italian, Lahiri's second book in the language after In Other Words, a non-fiction book. [2] Though the city in which the book is set is not disclosed, Lahiri has said it "[...] was born in Rome and set in my head in Rome and written almost entirely on return visits to Rome". [3] Synopsis [ edit ] Sono io e non lo sono, vado via e resto sempre qui. Questa frase scompiglia brevemente la mia malinconia come un sussulto che fa oscillare i rami, che fa tremare le foglie di un albero.» Novel doesn't feel like the correct descriptor for this slim and delicate self-portrait of a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Fictional Memoir or Dramatized Journal, perhaps. But whereas the plot is slender, the story is as fat and ripe and juicy as a late summer Italian plum.

At times the narrator feels like they are being a stalker and quite disturbed. You will not like this character. Quite judgemental at times and making assumptions about people they've just met, the character does well with being not able to be in good terms with anyone. But somehow you will be able to relate. re-read: I was curious to read Lahiri's self-translation, just to see whether I would like it us much as the original, and I can confirm that I did. I'm glad Lahiri translated the novel herself and I can't actually decide if I preferred this English translation or its original Italian version. Anyway, I loved re-experiencing the story through a different lens. The story is made up of fragments of other characters and taking life each day kind of scenarios which fill up the chapters. In recent years, you’ve been splitting your time between the United States and Italy. Travel has, of course, become much harder during the pandemic. Were you translating the novel during this time? Did it make you feel far away?

And....(just sharing).... contemplating once again, and it’s not been the first time I've said this -- Italiani all’estero (attraverso l’anagrafe consolare, la tutela e l’assistenza a residenti e turisti, gli interventi in situazioni di emergenza, i servizi consolari, i detenuti italiani all’estero e la sottrazione internazionale di minori); The book is set out in a series of short chapters – set over a year, in which the unnamed narrator, living in the unnamed City (which seems to be Rome) in which she was born traces her life over the course of a year. With a small number of exceptions, each chapter is set in a location (the sidewalk, the street, at the trattoria, in the bookstore, in the waiting room, at my house, in bed), time (In Spring, In August, In Winter) with a few set “In My Head” (I believe these are 'Tra sé e sé' in the original).
