Featuring George Lamond, Amarfis Aquino y la Banda Atakke, Mariachi Real de Mexico, and Tahuantinsuyo. COOPER

JHUMPA LAHIRI

Like a kiss or caress in a Hindi movie," writes Pulitzer Prize winner Lahiri in her new novel, The Namesake, "a husband's name is something intimate and therefore unspoken, cleverly patched over." Which explains why my wife simply calls me "Bub." As in Lahiri's debut collection, Interpreter of Maladies, The Namesake navigates the world of Indian American immigrants—here through a protagonist improbably named Gogol Ganguli. DE KRAP
