A bittersweet, quietly poignant account of a Bengali couple who immigrate to chilly Massachusetts, and of their son's efforts to navigate between his two lives as an Indian and American. Lahiri's crystalline prose captures the rhythms of experience with astonishing vividness, and the joy, sadness and confusion of a life lived in exile.
Epic times call for epic art, and nothing moved us more than The Return of the King. Other things we loved: Louis Vuitton, William Boyd and BBC's The Office And to the Atlanta group OutKast, we say "Stank you very much!"
