Prof. Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt: Author Jhumpa Lahiri

From her Pulitzer-winning collection of short stories, Interpreter of Maladies, to her most recent novel The Lowland, Jhumpa Lahiri examines the complex state of belonging to both India and America for both the first and second-generation immigrants.

Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt, Linfield professor of English and coordinator of the Gender Studies Program, lead a weekly Delve Reading Seminar offered through Literary Arts in April 2015. The four-week seminar, “Reading Jhumpa Lahiri: Exploring the South-Asian-American Diaspora,” was sold out.

The seminar explored how Lahiri’s literary representation connects the two worlds of the East and the West as her subjects navigate their various states of belonging.
