Whereabouts by Jhumpa Lahiri

Whereabouts by Jhumpa Lahiri

A woman in her forties moves through an unnamed Italian city — on the pavement, at the trattoria, in the piazza, at the pool, in her mother's flat. Each chapter is titled by location and runs two or three pages.

Lahiri wrote it in Italian and translated it herself, and the language is deliberately plainer than her English. Nothing happens: there is a man who belongs to a friend, a difficult mother, a father who died, and a decision about a fellowship abroad. What accumulates is the most precise portrait of solitude she has written.

The Pulitzer-winning author's first novel written in Italian, and unlike anything else in her work.
