Jhumpa Lahiri on Italian as a Place of Creative Freedom

On October 5th, 2015, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri visited Montclair State University to give a public lecture on her personal experiece with learning Italian, an experience that has recently led her to the publication of "In altre parole", her first work in this language. In the book as well as in the lecture, Lahiri shared emotional details of this learning process as it became a journey to build a new identity for herself, as a woman and a writer.
