    The Namesake

    By
    Jhumpa Lahiri
    HarperCollins Publishers
    'The Namesake' is the story of a boy brought up Indian in America.

    'When her grandmother learned of Ashima's pregnancy, she was


    particularly thrilled at the prospect of naming the family's first
    sahib. And so Ashima and Ashoke have agreed to put off the
    decision of what to name the baby until a letter comes...'

    For now, the label on his hospital cot reads simply BABY BOY
    GANGULI. But as time passes and still no letter arrives from India,
    American bureaucracy takes over and demands that 'baby boy
    Ganguli' be given a name. In a panic, his father decides to nickname
    him 'Gogol' - after his favourite writer.

    Brought up as an Indian in suburban America, Gogol Ganguli soon


    finds himself itching to cast off his awkward name, just as he longs
    to leave behind the inherited values of his Bengali parents. And so
    he sets off on his own path through life, a path strewn with
    conflicting loyalties, love and loss...

    Spanning three decades and crossing continents, Jhumpa Lahiri's


    much-anticipated first novel is a triumph of humane story-telling.
    Elegant, subtle and moving, 'The Namesake' is for everyone who
    loved the clarity, sympathy and grace of Lahiri's Pulitzer Prize-
    winning debut story collection, 'Interpreter of Maladies'.
