The Namesake
May 7, 2009 at 1:59 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentToday’s Book Group session generated interest in reading Nikolai Gogol’s The Overcoat. Feel free to leave your comments! Wikipedia has a bit of background on Nikolai Gogol. I also mentioned to the group that I thought that Natalie Friedman’s article “From hybrids to tourists: children of immigrants in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake” really brought out the central themes of the book and particularly the issues Gogol/Nikhil deals with as sort of an “in-between” generation.
