Gift this gripping & picturesquely told story by Jhumpa Lahiri. She is the Pulitzer Prize winner in 2000 for her immensely popular - Interpreter of Maladies..........

When her grandmother learned of Ashimas pregnancy, she was particularly thrilled at the prospect of naming the familys first sahib. And so Ashima and Ashoke have agreed to put off the decision of what to name the baby until a letter comes. For now, the label on his hospital cot reads simply Baby Boy Ganguli. But as time passes and still no letter arrives form India, American bureaucracy takes over and demands that the boy be given a name. In a panic, his father decides to nickname him - Gogol, after his favourite writer.
Made into a very famous movie. Brought up as an Indian in suburban America, Gogol Ganguli soon finds himself itching to cast off his awkward name, just as he longs to leave behind the inherited values of his Bengali parents. And so he sets off on his own path through life, a path strewn with conflicting loyalties, love and loss...
