In the year 2000 I read a book by author Jhumpa Lahiri who won a Pulitzer-Prize for her short story collection called INTERPRETER OF MALADIES. I didn't read her second book called THE NAMESAKE but I heard about the film release in 2003 and I was sure to be one of the first at the box-office to see it.
Jhumpa Lahiri originally wrote THE NAMESAKE as a novella that was published in The New Yorker Magazine and it was later expanded to a full length novel. It explores many of the same emotional and cultural themes as her Pulitzer Prize-winning short story collection Interpreter of Maladies. The movie vesrion of The Namesake succeeds in doing the same as it examines the conflicts between two very different cultures. It's a GREAT movie that I highly recommend for everyone.
