Jhumpa Lahiri

In 1999, Lahiri won a Pulitzer Prize for her very first book, Interpreter of Maladies. Her 2003 novel, Namesake, was turned into a movie, and she went on to publish Unaccustomed Earth and The Lowland. 

But Lahiri wasn’t satisfied, so she tried something new — very new: She wrote her new memoir, In Other Words, in Italian.
