Review:
"Gorgeous. . . . Lahiri gives us the most unusual of self-portraits." --The New York Times Book Review
"Exquisite. . . . Strikingly honest, lyrical, untouched by sentimentality. . . . The most evocative, unpretentious, astute account of a writing life I have read." --Howard Norman, The Washington Post "As much a work of poetry as prose. . . . Beautiful." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "Magnificent. . . . [In Other Words] puts one in the company of a beautiful mind engaged in a sustained and bracing discipline." --Los Angeles Times
"Urgent and raw." --O, The Oprah Magazine "In Lahiri's hands, these essays and stories become an invaluable insight into the craft of writing not as storytelling but as speaking the self into existence." --San Francisco Chronicle "A quiet coming of age. . . . Lahiri is a master of language." --Time
