too much of the intro sounds like a review
and not like an encyclopedia. --Rajah (talk) 22:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Quotes in Italics?
Why are the quotes from Lahiri in italics? That is not standard in Wikipedia articles. GeneCallahan (talk) 17:04, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Summary of who she is.
Jhumpa Lahiri has written short stories, novels, and essays. She has earned many awards throughout her writing career. Currently, she is a professor at Princeton. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.11.11.2 (talk) 00:51, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

"Jhumpa" not a pet name as normally understood
I reworded the statement that Lahiri’s teacher “decided to call her by her pet name” since a “pet name” as normally understood (and as defined by the wikilink) is an unofficial nickname, whereas in Bengali tradition it is one of a person’s given names reserved for intimate use while the others are used outside the family. Lahiri herself says that “Ho vissuto tutta la vita con il mio nome, Jhumpa Nilanjana Sudeshna Lahiri. È stata mia madre a chiarmi così... in un ospedale di Londra nel 1967”. [“I’ve lived my entire life as J. N. S. L. It was my mother who gave me this name, in a London hospital in 1967.” From the Postfazione to the Italian translation of “The Namesake”.] Colin.champion (talk) 12:48, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
