☆ ‘Roman Stories’ Review: Eternal, Uncertain City

Photo: Matteo Nardone/Pacific Press/AlamyWhat does it mean to be “a Roman” in the 21st century? But the narrator of the last story in Jhumpa Lahiri’s collection “Roman Stories” has a personal stake in this question. She is an American professor in her 50s who was pulled to Rome as a young woman by a fascination with the Italian poet Dante Alighieri (whose name provides the story’s title). After marrying a Roman, she ended up staying in the city for decades. At her mother-in-law’s funeral, she wonders: Had her long residence made her a Roman?

☆ Jhumpa Lahiri Has Found a Place of Contentment

When Jhumpa Lahiri decided to move to Rome with her family in 2012, it was partly because of her love of the Italian language, but also to flee her public persona as a writer in the U.S. She explains that her quiet, reserved fiction comes from a quiet, reserved place, and she had mixed feelings about losing her anonymity to literary celebrity after winning the Pulitzer Prize for her first book in 1999. “I think my natural inclinations are to be more of an invisible person,” she says.

Yet lately it has occurred to me that Lahiri came of age in circumstances very different from mine or Sathian’s. In an essay Lahiri later wrote about the state, she said that her family “didn’t fundamentally belong” there, recounting that her mother once received nine pieces of racist hate mail while working at the elementary school Lahiri had attended. By the 2000 census — the year Lahiri won her Pulitzer — the number of Indian immigrants in the United States had increased 20-fold since 1970. In my mid-20s, after that conversation with Jenny, I decided to write about Indian Americans again. I also started writing the stories that appear in my new collection, “This Is Salvaged,” featuring Indian Americans in multicultural communities.
