Abstract
The Namesake" follows the life of Gogol Ganguli, born to Indian immigrant parents in the United States. His struggle with his name, given by his father in homage to the Russian author Nikolai Gogol, becomes a central theme as he navigates the challenges of cultural identity and belonging. Lahiri crafts a poignant narrative that unfolds against the backdrop of generational differences, cultural adaptation, and the symbolism of names, offering a rich exploration of the immigrant experience in a globalized world.
