Jhumpa Lahiri, è una scrittrice e traduttrice. Nella sua lezione dottorale su Antonio Gramsci traduttore, “Traduzione (stra)ordinaria”, la scrittrice è sospesa tra lingue e culture e si rispecchia nella poliedrica figura di Gramsci che emerge dalle “Lettere dal carcere”, nella cui sostanza materiale, emotiva e linguistica si staglia il profilo di un padre, figlio, sposo che interroga la storia e spera che il nostro mondo possa diventare giusto e tollerabile.

Episode Notes Why hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of Orange Juice Optional!  Listen in as Suzanne and Michelle FINALLY discuss July's book of the month, ‘Whereabouts' by Jhumpa Lahiri. Even though the discussion is a little late, both ladies agree that it's unlike anything they've ever read before and well worth the wait. For them, this book proved to be a creative piece of literature that personally touched their hearts on both an individual, and collective level.   During this discussion, they will share several excerpts from the book that demonstrate the power of observation and use of descriptive words (Lahiri, Jhumpa. Whereabouts. 29 March 2022. Vintage Publishing.)  You know it is a positive read (and experience) when Suzanne places this book on her top 10 favorite books of all time. Before this episode concludes, Michelle reminds listeners that ‘The last thing he told me' by Laura Dave, is the book that they will be reading in August. This book is a fictional mystery that takes place in Northern California and Austin, Texas. Than, to close out this episode, Michelle will share this week's “Something to Sip on”.  This is a quote, or words of wisdom, that are shared to inspire others. So, enjoy…& until next week…Cheers!!

Ciao a tutti, mi chiamo Coralie e studio Letteratura italiana, oggi vorrei proporvi il libro In altre parole di Jhumpa Lahiri, pubblicato nel 2016 dalla casa editrice Guanda. Jhumpa Lahiri è un'autrice di origine indiana, anche se è cresciuta negli Stati Uniti, dove si è affermata come scrittrice, iniziando a pubblicare nel 1999. I protagonisti delle sue storie sono spesso immigrati di origine indiana, che, cambiando paese, sono costretti a confrontarsi con importanti differenze culturali.Malgrado in molti sostengano che Jhumpa Lahiri sia una scrittrice autobiografica lei non ama essere definita così; in appendice a In altre parole spiega infatti che per i suoi romanzi ha preso ispirazione dalla realtà delle comunità benegalesi che frequentava con i genitori, creando però delle storie originali e frutto della sua fantasia. In altre parole invece, il primo scritto che pubblica in italiano, come dichiara l'autrice stessa, è una storia integralmente autobiografica che, come scritto sul retro di copertina, racconta “ la storia di un colpo di fulmine, di un lungo corteggiamento, di una passione profonda”. In altre parole, di Jhumpa Lahiri, viene definita a tutti gli effetti una storia d'amore, i protagonisti però sono totalmente inaspettati: da una parte c'è la nostra autrice, che si innamora pazzamente della lingua italiana, incontrata per la prima volta durante un viaggio a Firenze, città che visita durante il periodo universitario insieme con la sorella. Qui scatta la scintilla di un amore che cambierà totalmente la vita dell'autrice, che dopo questo viaggio decide di iniziare a studiare l'italiano, uno studio che la coinvolge e la cattura sempre di più. Dopo aver cambiato tre insegnanti Jhumpa capisce che l'unico modo per imparare davvero la lingua è quello di immergervisi completamente; decide quindi di leggere e scrivere solo in italiano, lasciando da parte l'inglese, ma questo non basta. Capisce quindi che è necessario fare il grande salto e trasferirsi, insieme a tutta la sua famiglia, a Roma. Per molti si tratta di un'idea folle, ma del resto chi non ha mai fatto qualche follia per amore? In Italia continua a studiare e scrivere in italiano, tiene una sorta di diario nel quale racconta del suo rapporto con la lingua italiana. Racconta del triangolo che si forma tra le sue tre lingue (inglese, benegalese e italiano), della frustrazione di sentirsi sempre straniera (in America perché ha origini indiane, in India perché è cresciuta all'estero, e in Italia per entrambi i motivi). In un momento di sconforto ci dice che si sente come bloccata al di là di un muro, che non la abbandona mai, impedendole di sentirsi pienamente padrona di una lingua. Credo che la storia di Jhumpa Lahiri meriti di essere letta e raccontata perché è un grande esempio di determinazione; malgrado le delusioni e le difficoltà la nostra autrice non rinuncia al suo sogno, che si concretizza nella pubblicazione di numerosi volumi in lingua italiana. È una lettura sicuramente diversa dal solito, non ci sono grandi colpi di scena, ma il semplice racconto di una straordinaria quotidianità.

On this holiday weekend we're revisiting a special episode with Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jhumpa Lahiri (“Interpreter of Maladies”, “The Namesake”). In vivid, writerly detail Lahiri describes being raised in a family “spread out in various places” (5:05), her late mother's recurring presence in her writing (10:20), the comfort (and pain) of being an observer (17:45), and the vibrancy she found in Rome (26:32), which inspired her new novel (written in Italian, translated in English) “Whereabouts” (29:45). On the back-half, Jhumpa reflects on the metamorphosis that occurred in her mother's final days (35:00), how her familial ties (from Kolkata to Rhode Island) informed her early work (42:20), and, finally, why she writes (46:47).

Ms. Bhattacharya and the Insight Center have doubled down on dismantling racist, sexist systems by changing the narratives of power, disparity, and history that support them. Centering Blackness is a framework that strikes at, what they say, is the root cause of a multitude of societal ills. On this episode, Ms. Bhattacharya talks with me about the Centering Blackness framework, patriarchal status quo, the power of narrative, and how Asian Americans experience white supremacy.

Since Interpreter of Maladies was published in 1999, Jhumpa Lahiri has written three works of fiction in English, The Namesake, Unaccustomed Earth, and the Booker shortlisted, The Lowland. She has also written a work of nonfiction, In Other Words, which was the first book she wrote in Italian, translated into English by Ann Goldstein. In addition Jhumpa edited The Penguin Book of Short Italian Stories, highlighting a thrilling selection of Italian writers, some of whom hadn't been seen in English before. She has also translated various books from Italian including Domenico Starnone's Trick. Jhumpa received the Pulitzer Prize for Interpreter of Maladies and numerous other awards for her writing including the PEN/Hemingway Award; the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award; and a National Humanities Medal, awarded by Barak Obama. She has been inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters and received Commander of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. Whereabouts is Jhumpa's new book, her first novel written in Italian and this time, she also translated it into English. There's a grace and a gentle precision to her pared back style as she looks at every day moments in specific places, and the solitude, frustrations and intimacies of being human.

Die US-amerikanische Autorin Jhumpa Lahiri erzählt in ihrem 1999 erschienenen Kurzgeschichteband "Melancholie der Ankunft" / "Interpreter of Maladies" über Fremdsein, Heimat und die Tücken zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen. Mit Einfühlungsvermögen und einem sehr genauen Blick für das Wesentliche konzentriert sich Lahiri vor allem auf Inder*innen im Exil in den USA, drei der Geschichten spielen aber auch in Bengalen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Krisenmomente im Leben von Menschen in der Fremde, erzählt mit einer lakonischen Ruhe im Stil der klassischen amerikanischen Kurzgeschichte. "Sowenig ungewöhnlich das alles sein mag, gibt es doch Momente, da es meine Vorstellungskraft übersteigt." - Der letzte Satz dieses Erzälbandes bringt es auf den Punkt. Warum wir letztendlich doch nicht restlos begeistert waren und warum der Pulitzer-Preis, den Lahiri für ihr Erstlingswerk erhielt, allzu überzogene Erwartungen schürt, erfahrt ihr im Podcast. Unterstützt werde ich in dieser Folge von Laura Thoben, die nicht nur meine Schwägerin ist, sondern auch Architektin, Globetrotterin und Vielleserin. Dazu ist sie fast jedes Jahr in Indien und hat bereits mit 15 Jahren zum ersten Mal längere Zeit dort gelebt. Von daher ist sie natürlich Expertin für Land, Leute und Kultur und damit der ideale Gast für diese Podcast-Folge!
