On a post-college visit to Florence, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri fell in love with the Italian language. Twenty years later, seeking total immersion, she and her family relocated to Rome, where she began to read and write solely in her adopted tongue. A startling act of self-reflection, In Other Words is Lahiri’s meditation on the process of learning to express herself in another language—and the stunning journey of a writer seeking a new voice.

Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.THE CROSSINGI want to cross a small lake. It really is small, and yet the other shore seems too far away, beyond my abilities. I m aware that the lake is very deep in the middle, and even though I know how to swim I m afraid of being alone in the water, without any support.The lake I m talking about is in a secluded, isolated place. To get there you have to walk a short distance, through a silent wood. On the other side you can see a cottage, the only house on the shore. The lake was formed just after the last ice age, millennia ago. The water is clear but dark, heavier than salt water, with no current. Once you re in, a few yards from the shore, you can no longer see the bottom.In the morning I observe people coming to the lake, as I do. I watch them cross it in a confident, relaxed manner, stop for some minutes in front of the cottage, then return. I count their arm strokes. I envy them.For a month I swim around the lake, never going too far out. This is a more significant distance-the circumference compared to the diameter. It takes me more than half an hour to make this circle. Yet I m always close to the shore. I can stop, I can stand up if I m tired. It s good exercise, but not very exciting.Then one morning, near the end of the summer, I meet two friends at the lake. I ve decided to make the crossing with them, to finally get to the cottage on the other side. I m tired of just going along the edge.I count the strokes. I know that my companions are in the water with me, but I know that each of us is alone. After about a hundred and fifty. Codice articolo BKZN9781101911464
