This author/writer now writes in Italian instead of English?

The correct answer is A, Jhumpa Lahiri. Jhumpa Lahiri, born in London to Bengali parents and brought up in the United States, moved to Rome and began writing in Italian rather than in English. Her Italian work includes the memoir In Altre Parole, published in English as In Other Words, and the novel Dove mi trovo, which she later put into English herself as Whereabouts. She first won fame in English with Interpreter of Maladies, the story collection that took the Pulitzer Prize in 1999, and with the novel The Namesake. Option B is wrong because Vikram Seth writes in English, as in A Suitable Boy and the verse novel The Golden Gate. Option C is wrong because Kiran Desai writes in English and won the Booker Prize in 2006 for The Inheritance of Loss. Option D is wrong because Arundhati Roy also writes in English, as in The God of Small Things. Exam tip: tie Jhumpa Lahiri to Interpreter of Maladies, the Pulitzer of 1999 and her later Italian books.
