Question

Sentence: Jacques Cousteau over here wants to go buy swimsuits.I find this sentence so difficult to understand, I want to convert it to simple english.

GPY · Accepted Answer

It is hard to be certain of the interpretation without full context. My guess is that "Jacques Cousteau over here" means "this person nearby who is acting as if he is Jacques Cousteau" (sarcastic). This person wants to go (somewhere, to a store) to buy swimsuits. Obviously the reference is to Jacques Cousteau being a famous underwater explorer.

Lahiri's early short stories faced rejection from publishers "for years".^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-12} Her debut short story collection, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_of_Maladies, was finally released in 1999. The stories address sensitive dilemmas in the lives of Indians or Indian immigrants, with themes such as marital difficulties, the bereavement over a stillborn child, and the disconnection between first and second generation United States immigrants. Lahiri later wrote, "When I first started writing I was not conscious that my subject was the Indian-American experience. What drew me to my craft was the desire to force the two worlds I occupied to mingle on the page as I was not brave enough, or mature enough, to allow in life."^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-newsw-13} The collection was praised by American critics, but received mixed reviews in India, where reviewers were alternately enthusiastic and upset Lahiri had "not paint[ed] Indians in a more positive light."^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-wash-14} Interpreter of Maladies sold 600,000 copies and received the 2000 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Fiction (only the seventh time a story collection had won the award).^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-usa-1}^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-pbs-15}

In 2003, Lahiri published her first novel, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheNamesake(novel).^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-wash-14} The theme and plot of this story was influenced in part by a family story she heard growing up. Her father's cousin was involved in a train wreck and was only saved when the workers saw a beam of light reflected off of a watch he was wearing. Similarly, the protagonist's father in The Namesake was rescued due to his peers recognizing the books that he read by Russian author https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Gogol. The father and his wife immigrated to the United States as young adults. After this life-changing experience, he named his son Gogol and his daughter Sonia. Together the two children grow up in a culture with different mannerisms and customs that clash with what their parents have taught them.^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-16} A https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheNamesake(film) of The Namesakewas released in March 2007, directed by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Nair and starring https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KalPenn as Gogol and Bollywood stars https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabu(actress) and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrfan_Khan as his parents. Lahiri herself made a cameo as "Aunt Jhumpa."

Lahiri's second collection of short stories, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unaccustomed_Earth, was released on April 1, 2008. Upon its publication, Unaccustomed Earth achieved the rare distinction of debuting at number 1 on The New York Times best seller list.^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-nytlist-17} New York Times Book Revieweditor, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DwightGarner(critic), stated, "It's hard to remember the last genuinely serious, well-written work of fiction—particularly a book of stories—that leapt straight to No. 1; it's a powerful demonstration of Lahiri's newfound commercial clout."^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-nytlist-17}

Lahiri has also had a distinguished relationship with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Yorker magazine in which she has published a number of her short stories, mostly fiction, and a few non-fiction including The Long Way Home; Cooking Lessons, a story about the importance of food in Lahiri's relationship with her mother.

Since 2005, Lahiri has been a vice president of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEN_American_Center, an organization designed to promote friendship and intellectual cooperation among writers.

In February 2010, she was appointed a member of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_Committee_on_the_Arts_and_Humanities, along with five others.^{https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhumpa_Lahiri#cite_note-ArtsCom-18}

In December 2015, Lahiri published a non-fiction essay called http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/12/07/teach-yourself-italianin https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Yorker about her experience learning Italian. In the essay she declared that she is now only writing in Italian, and the essay itself was translated from Italian to English.
