Jhumpa Lahiri: Mulher traduzida, escritora italiana

Abstract

Jhumpa Lahiri has achieved success and prestige by writing novels and short stories about the Indian-American experience in the United States. In 2015 the author debuted as an Italian language writer with In altre parole, a series of reflections on her process of Italian language learning. Since then she has published Il vestito dei libri, a small volume exploring the topic of book covers, and a novel, Dove mi trovo. This paper proposes to draw some considerations on the relationship that Jhumpa Lahiri, a displaced writer and translated woman, established with English and Italian languages in the light of texts that thematize issues about transit and diaspora in the contemporary world.
