Not only is Jhumpa Lahiri a strikingly gorgeous Indian-American author, but she is also a unique and humble writer. Jhumpha Lahiri was born in London in 1967, and was raised in Rhode Island by her Bengali parents. Her most popular works include The Interpreter of Maladies, The Namesake, and Unaccustomed Earth. She won the PEN/Hemingway Award in 1999, the Pulitzer Prize in 2000, and has won eleven other awards throughout her literary career thus far (No big deal, right?). Mrs. Lahiri also has an extensive educational background. While I am barely scraping by to get one bachelors degree, Jhumpa Lahiri has THREE Masters Degrees! One is in English, one in Creative Writing, and the last one is in Comparative Literature. All of these degrees she earned from Boston University. Not to mention, this amazing female writer also has a PH. D in Renaissance Studies. This woman is insanely ambitious.

Lahiri’s style is all about simplicity. Lahiri is not as interested in dressing up her stories with elaborate language like some authors are. As a writer involved in the Post-Modernist Movement, Jhumpa Lahiri’s literature uses concise language and focuses on representing specific points of views and themes. The majority of Lahiri’s work also centers around her own personal experiences as well as her own cultural identity. Obviously, Mrs. Lahiri is still writing and producing literature. Her most recent book was published in 2013 and is titled The Lowland. No pressure, but YOU MOST DEFINITELY NEED TO GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE OF HER STORIES!!!
