I wonder why Sooni Taraporevala's screenplay switches the primary locus of action from the Boston area to New York. In the novel, as I recall, Gogol goes to graduate school in New York, but the family home is in the Boston suburbs. Also, the book has the Ganguli family immigrating in the early 1960s, while the film, I believe, has it a decade later. --Dilip Barman, film reviewer, www.dilip.info
