This book offers a fresh perspective by showing how she gradually shifts her identity from a fiction writer to a non-fiction writer. And, more importantly, her adherence to the 'Italian phase' in academia has not previously been the subject of such a thorough critical investigation. There is a sudden change in her writing and her choice of language; she prefers Italy and the Italian language to English and Bengali. Such spatial as well as linguistic dislocation leads her towards a new space in which she anticipates her freedom of choice, confronts difficulties, and often gets confused, too: to be in Italy or not to be. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat this book seeks to touch upon is how Lahiri's fictional as well as nonfictional writings bring out her and her fictional characters' translational and transnational existence reinforcing her literary motto 'I translate, therefore I am'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is of special interest to students as well as scholars of Diaspora and Migration studies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Auritra Munshi is Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Raiganj University, West Bengal, India.
