The Namesake

Attribution
Jhumpa Lahiri
Publication Details
Book, Houghton Mifflin, 2003
Description
Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies established this young writer as one the most brilliant of her generation. Named for a Russian writer by his Indian parents in memory of a catastrophe years before, Gogol Ganguli knows only that he suffers the burden of his heritage as well as his odd, antic name. Lahiri brings great empathy to Gogol as he stumbles along the first-generation path, strewn with conflicting loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs.

Dirt Music : A Novel

Attribution
Tim Winton
Publication Details
Book, 1st Scribner ed, Scribner, 2002
Description
Chance, or a kind of willed recklessness, has brought Georgie into the life and home of Jim Buckridge, the most prosperous fisherman in the area and a man who loathes poachers, Fox above all. Dirt music, Fox tells Georgie, is “anything you can play on a verandah or porch, without electricity.” Ambitious, perfectly calibrated, Dirt Music resonates with suspense and supercharged emotion — and it confirms Tim Winton’s status as the preeminent Australian novelist of his generation.
