The Lowland
Jhumpa LahiriIn Jhumpa Lahiri’s sweeping drama, the deep bond between two brothers can do nothing to forestall the tragedy that will upend their lives.
Subhash and Udayan were inseparable in childhood. They wandered the suburban streets of Calcutta before dusk and played for hours in the hyacinth-strewn ponds. But the years pass and riots sweep across India. Udayan - charismatic and impulsive - finds himself drawn to a rebellion waged to eradicate inequity and poverty. He will give everything, risk all, for what he believes, and in doing so will transform the futures of those dearest to him.
"Jhumpa Lahiri is an elegant stylist, effortlessly placing the perfect words in the perfect order time and again so we’re transported seamlessly into another place..." - Elissa Schappell, Vanity Fair
"...reading The Lowland made me recall one of Stendhal’s most famous aphorisms: politics in a novel are like a pistol shot in the middle of a concert. They are entirely out of place but impossible to ignore, and though Lahiri herself has put those politics in, she also wants us to look away from them, to concentrate on the spectators instead of the struggle around the gun." - Michael Gorra, The New York Review Of Books
Jhumpa Lahiri’s debut collection of stories, Interpreter of Maladies, was a multi-award-winning bestseller, translated into more than 30 languages. Her first novel, The Namesake, was selected as one of the best books of the year by USA Today and Entertainment Weekly; Unaccustomed Earth won the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award. A recipient of Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2012.
