Representations Of Separation And Dislocation In Selected Works By Jhumpa Lahiri

Abstract

This study analyzes Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies in light of the diasporas it raises and the themes of diasporic space and the immigrant experience it explores. Her book, Interpreter of Maladies, exposes the alienation and loneliness felt by all immigrants and showcases her impressive grasp of bilingualism and dependability. Furthermore, she gives those suffering and caught up in their complex psychoses a voice. All of her stories delicately broach the subject of the gulf that can form between immigrants and their American-born children.
