:DDD Hi! I apologize very much for my late reply, I have a terrible habit of letting unreplied comments just stack up in my inbox. The song didn't ping me immediately so strongly as an immigrant song, but the more I read about Lhasa and her life, the more that I put the song in that context. These questions of identity and affiliation are even more volatile now I feel in context of the J2 BB racefail. What are we all the time, and what are we sometimes, and what does that mean?

I have been meaning to read The Namesake for a while now. Which of Lahiri's books would you recommend for a newbie?
