Viac o knihe The Namesake (Jhumpa Lahiri)
HarperCollins Publishers: 'Extraordinary!a book that spins gold out of the straw of ordinary lives. The calm, pellucid grace of her prose, the sustained stretch of crystal clear writing, its elegant pianissimo tone, pulls the reader from beginning to end in one neat arc. Every detail, every observation, every sentence rings with the clarity of truth. The Namesake is a novel that makes its reader feel privileged to be allowed access to its immensely empathetic world.' The Times 'The kind of writer who makes you want to grab the next person and say "Read this!"' Amy Tan 'Impeccably written' Daily Mail 'Gracious!.in refined, empathetic prose!each of Lahiri's characters patches together their own identity, making this resonant fable neither uniquely Asian nor uniquely American, but tenderly, wryly human.' Hephzibah Anderson, The Observer 'This is certainly a novel that explores the concepts of cultural identity, of rootlessness, of tradition and familial expectation!but !it never succumbs to the cliches those themes so often entail. Instead, Lahiri turns it into something both larger and simpler: the story of a man and his family, of his life and hopes, loves and sorrows. She has a talent -- magical, sly, cumulative -- that most writers would kill for.' Julie Myerson, The Guardian 'Jhumpa Lahiri's excellent first novel! is the work of a fine writer, discriminating, compassionate and surprising. It is, too, a story for our times.' Rachel Cusk, Evening Standard 'A joy to read.' Sunday Telegraph 'Eloquent!Lahiri's prose is striking. Spurning the antsy, transcultural wordplay of many Asian-American authors, she writes with journalistic precision. Like a Victorian urban chronicler, she loves to amass inventories. Things matter to her and to her characters; they are bulwarks against drift and confusion. The Namesake!is lucid, generous in its narrative scope, and an extremely accomplished first novel.' Sukhdev Sandhu, Daily Telegraph 'Covering about 30 years!the novel manages to represent, without patronising, life within the confines of a professional expatriate enclave. Lahiri is at her best when mapping these confines, and the conflicts between individual pursuits and family loyalties!.Fluid, accessible and!very good indeed.' The Independent 'Good novelists, like Bengali parents, must make their creations unique, and Lahiri's central characters are painfully believable!.An extremely good first novel, a glowing miniature of a tiny family making the voyage between two worlds.' Maggie Gee
Observer
'Couched in poised and lucid prose, THE NAMESAKE is an exquisite tale, full of fine and fragile humour.'
