Tales of Belonging – Jhumpa Lahiri Postcards

This curated set of ten postcards is a tribute to the delicate, introspective world inspired by Jhumpa Lahiri.  It is a world where migration, memory, identity, and language entwine across generations. Drawing from her acclaimed works such as Interpreter of Maladies, The Namesake, Unaccustomed Earth, and The Lowland, each postcard echoes the emotional nuance and restrained elegance that define her prose.

Whether it’s the quiet loneliness of a Boston winter or the intricate ties of Bengali family life, these visuals capture the cultural and emotional dualities that Lahiri’s characters often navigate. The imagery is gentle, familiar, and layered with meaning — from empty hallways and travel bags to letters, windows, and books left half-read.

A Literary Keepsake for Thoughtful Readers

Perfect for fans of diasporic fiction, immigrant narratives, or minimal storytelling, this postcard set invites reflection. They are ideal for journaling, gifting, or simply placing on your desk as literary inspiration. The designs evoke Lahiri’s signature themes — absence and belonging, dislocation and intimacy — giving you tangible moments from an intangible world.

Visual Snapshots of a Literary Life

Imagine a postcard inspired by The Namesake, where a lone figure walks down a train platform — caught between continents. Or a kitchen scene from Unaccustomed Earth, where unspoken histories simmer alongside a shared meal. A handwritten manuscript flutters in the wind, nodding to In Other Words, her Italian-language memoir of linguistic rebirth. From the sun-drenched streets of Rome to the rain-drenched suburbs of New England, each card tells a quiet story — waiting for yours to join it.

Printed on high-quality 300 GSM cardstock with a choice of matte or glossy finish, these postcards are made to last. Each one includes space for notes, quotes, or thoughts of your own. Packaged in a gift-ready box with eco-friendly envelopes, they make a perfect present for bibliophiles, letter-writers, or Jhumpa Lahiri lovers.
