The Institute for Creative Writing and Literary Translation at Rome's John Cabot University presents a reading by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri from her second novel The Lowland on Thursday 5 December at 19.00.
Shortlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize, “The Lowland is not just an ambitious novel, though; it is a novel partly about personal ambition, and how that squares with motherhood. It is not simply a novel about immigrants, it is a novel about finding the right place, and the right people—and about whether there are such things at all, or if life is a matter of adjusting to circumstance..” Noreen Malone, The New Republic
Lahiri is a guest of this year's Italy Reads programme at John Cabot University, see
