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 the new world – conflicts that will haunt Gogol on his own winding path through divided loyalties, comic detours and wrenching love affairs. This book illuminates the immigrant experience and the tangled ties between generations.
