Jhumpa Lahiri Quotes

Select Jhumpa Lahiri Quotations:

Jhumpa Lahiri

Jhumpa Lahiri

Jhumpa Lahiri

Jhumpa Lahiri

Jhumpa Lahiri

I've seen novels that have grown out of one story in a collection. But it hasn't occurred to me to take any of those stories and build on them. They seem very finished for me, so I don't feel like going back and dredging them up.
Jhumpa Lahiri

He told me he was working as an interpreter in a doctor's office in Brookline, Massachusetts, where I was living at the time, and he was translating for a doctor who had a number of Russian patients. On my way home, after running into him, I just heard this phrase in my head.
