Synopsis

La nueva novela de la gran autora revelación de los últimos años, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer, y su mayor desafío literario: las estaciones de una mujer de hoy.

Una mujer camina por una ciudad contemplando su soledad y la de quienes la rodean. A medida que se desarrolla su día a día -de una librería a la consulta de su terapeuta o a un restaurante- se sorprende con la súplica silenciosa de una lápida en la carretera, el diálogo accidentado de un padre con su hija, el recuerdo del encuentro con la inesperada amante de su antigua pareja o la silueta de un puente al anochecer. Cuando se cruza con el novio de su amiga por la calle, las posibilidades agridulces de un amor inexplorado la llevan a interrogarse acerca de su aislamiento y libertad, y cómo ha repercutido en sus relaciones afectivas.

 Donde me encuentro sigue a esta mujer a través de las cuatro estaciones, dejando que cada una desvele un poco más sobre quién es mientras ella averigua qué es lo que realmente quiere.

Jhumpa Lahiri emprende su mayor desafío literario al escribir, como Nabokov o Kafka, en una lengua ajena (el italiano) una historia universal y asombrosa: una novela sobre los pequeños milagros de la vida.

«Elijo el italiano, elijo tener una vida aún más polifacética, elijo un triángulo en el que me encuentro a gusto. Siento mi pertenencia hacia unos pocos elementos: mi familia, mis hijos, mi marido, mis amigos, la literatura, el panteón de los escritores que más quiero. Y pertenezco al italiano. El italiano es un gran amor, forma parte de mi identidad.».- Jhumpa Lahiri, LitHub

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The new novel by breakout author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and her biggest literary challenge: the seasons of a modern woman.
 
A woman walks through a city contemplating her solitude and that of those around her. While she goes about her daily life—from a bookstore to her therapist’s office or a restaurant—she is surprised by the silent entreaties of a memorial marker on the highway, the troubled dialogue between a father and his daughter, the memory of meeting her ex’s unexpected lover, or the silhouette of a bridge at nightfall. When she bumps into her friend’s boyfriend in the street, the bittersweet possibilities of an unexplored love lead her to question herself about her isolation and freedom, and how they have affected her relationships. Where I Find Myself follows this woman through the four seasons, letting each one reveal a bit more about who she is while she finds out what she really wants.
 
Like Nabokov or Kafka, Jhumpa Lahiri takes on her greatest literary challenge in writing a stunning, universal story—a novel about life’s small miracles—in a foreign language (Italian). “I choose Italian, I choose to have an even more multifaceted life, I choose a triangle in which I feel at ease. I feel my sense of belonging with a few elements: my family, my children, my husband, my friends, literature, the pantheon of my most beloved writers. And I belong to Italian. Italian is a great love; it forms part of my identity.” –Jhumpa Lahiri, LitHub

Review

La crítica ha dicho...

«Siempre hay un hueco para la literatura que ambiciona la exquisitez, como la de la norteamericana de origen indio Jhumpa Lahiri, que ha decidido saltar al italiano con Donde me encuentro.».- Carles Geli, El País
