In Other Words by Jhumpa Lahiri is originally written in Italian. Wait. Italian. Jhumpa Lahiri. That is an unexpected combination. This book is also her first foray into nonfiction for this book is a personal memoir â a reflection on her own immigrant experience and her own experience with language. With no knowledge of Italian, I cannot comment on the original. The philosophical musings in translation, however, speak to me. It is a completely different experience than reading her fiction, but beautiful nevertheless.
