New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2022. This is a collection of candid and disarmingly personal essays by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri, who reflects on her emerging identity as a translator as well as a writer in two languages. Featuring essays originally written in Italian and published in English for the first time, as well as essays written in English, this book brings together Lahiri's most lyrical and eloquently observed meditations on the translator's art as a sublime act of both linguistic and personal metamorphosis.
