Reading Lorenzo Searches for the Meaning of Life
(Speaking Tiger) by Upamanyu Chatterjee almost feels like watching a
movie. There is a sense of calm that envelops you throughout this book, and by
the time you finish, you are left with an unshakeable urge to set out in search
for the meaning of life, much like Lorenzo himself. It comes as little
surprise then that Lorenzo Searches for the Meaning of Life recently won
the JCB Prize for Literature 2024, one of India’s most prestigious literary
awards.
The book begins in Italy, but it’s in far away Khulna where
the protagonist finds love, falling for his headmistress, who happens to be an
ex-nun. An understated tale of love, identity and belonging, this is just the
kind of book you need to immerse yourself in for some much-needed warmth this
winter!
