Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : The Namesake (Broché)
This book is very powerful. Regardless of any literary or scholar interpretation, the namesake can be read by a very wide scope of readers. You can see a story of culture differences within a family, as well as its effect on the son Gogol. But there is more to the namesake, which is a very discreet protest of the countries who shamelessly ignore everything of the human beings they shelter. In that sense the United States are no exception. I think readers with immigrant roots will see even more than I did in this book. I personally didn't have the slightes idea of what West Bengal is, which happens to be Ashoke's and Ashima's -the parents- mother countries. So reading the namesake was just a way to open my eyes on a different culture. My advise: READ IT.
