This is a mixture of memoir and academia as Lahiri explores the how to or challenges in translating writing into other languages. Her vocabulary is impressive. Her point of the beauty of knowing more than one idioma/ lingue/ language so one can find a more precise word to communicate, translation as a method to read the authors of other cultures, and translating thoughts into another language as self introspection was inspiring and compelling.

This slim meditation on book covers was just lovely. Jhumpa Lahiri‘s consideration of her mixed feelings about her books‘ covers and the way the they reflect her life is thought provoking and vulnerable.
