Discover The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri’s acclaimed debut novel, now a major motion picture. This English-language edition follows Gogol, named after his father’s favorite author. Growing up in an Indian family in suburban America, Gogol grapples with his name and the inherited values it carries, yearning to forge a path distinct from his parents. His journey reveals that the quest for identity is far more complex than a simple name. Praised as “fantastically readable, warm and profound” by The Guardian, The Namesake is a testament to a “fine writer, discriminating, compassionate and surprising,” according to The Evening Standard. The Daily Telegraph hails it as “eloquent, striking, lucid, an extremely accomplished first novel.” The Observer describes it as “gracious neither uniquely Asian nor uniquely American, but tenderly, wryly human,” while The Sunday Times calls it “extremely good… a glowing miniature of a tiny family making the voyage between two worlds.”
