Recently, Jhumpa Lahiri published her first self-translated novel Whereabouts. In an interview with Urmila Seshagiri for Los Angeles Review of books she reflects on this experience:
"It becomes a hall of mirrors or an endless loop when you are at both ends. It’s like playing tennis with yourself but it’s not against the wall. It’s like hitting the ball and then running over to the other side, lobbing it back, and then running back. It’s kind of impossible, but in some crazy cartoon version of life you can imagine someone doing that."
