It's Day 2 of #WriteCraft! I forgot to post Day 1's prompt here so, if you wrote something for either day, reblog or reply to this with a link to where we can find it! I also have this up on twitter.

Lahiri, renown for her work in English, writes not only of her obsession with Italian and the difficulties of writing in a new language, but also her complex relationship with her birth tongue, Bengali. While I listened to this on audiobook, I found a physical copy at work to show off this book's unique format: both audiobook and print versions have the English translation accompanying the original Italian text. Simple yet profound, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in writing, languages, and identity. In Other Words by Jhumpa Lahiri
