for everyone
Category:Books
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Author:Jhumpa Lahiri
The story is too long, in Indonesia we call it "bertele-tele."

In fact, I hate Gogol the main character here. I think he's very unappreciative toward his parents by changing his name..just because he hates the sound of it. However, my heart goes to his parents, Ashima and Ashoke. I can't put it into words, they seem so hopelessly innocent in the foreign country.

Sorry to say I feel like wanting to slap Gogol's wife's face for her infedility. Hate her!
