Whereabouts (by Jhumpa Lahiri)

Whereabouts is another Camp ToB selection. It's a novella by Jhumpa Lahiri originally written in Italian and translated by her.  There isn't much of a plot, per se, more a series of vignettes from the life of a melancholy narrator, living in an Italian city.

There's something spare and meditative about this very interior story. Something about it resonated despite the fact that not a lot happens; I enjoyed spending time in this richly drawn world.
