In this New York Times podcast, we dive deep into the works of renowned author Jhumpa Lahiri, particularly her latest collection 'Roman Stories'. We explore Lahiri's unique linguistic journey as she ventures into writing in Italian, her third language, and the rich, melancholic, yet dynamic themes that pervade her narratives. Our focus is on the expansiveness of foreignness in her stories and the way they connect to her own life journey, which itself is a tale of transition and transformation.
