Namesake

Meet the Ganguli family, new arrivals from Calcutta, trying their best to become Americans even as they pine for home. The name they bestow on their firstborn, Gogol, betrays all the conflicts of honoring tradition in a new world—conflicts that will haunt Gogol on his own winding path through divided loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs.

Faceti cunostinta cu familia Ganguli, nou-sositi din Calcutta, incercand din rasputeri sa devina americani, chiar si in timp ce acestia isi doresc acasa. Numele pe care il acorda primului lor nascut, Gogol, tradeaza toate conflictele de onorare a traditiei intr-o lume noua - conflicte care il vor bantui pe Gogol pe propriul sau drum sinuos prin loialitati impartite, ocoliri comice si relatii amoroase distrugatoare.
