Navigating between the Indian traditions they've inherited and the baffling new world, the characters in Jhumpa Lahiri's elegant, touching stories seek love beyond the barriers of culture and generations. In "A Temporary Matter," published in The New Yorker, a young Indian-American couple faces the heartbreak of a stillborn birth while their Boston neighborhood copes with a nightly blackout. In the title story, an interpreter guides an American family through the India of their ancestors and hears an astonishing confession. Lahiri writes with deft cultural insight reminiscent of Anita Desai and a nuanced depth that recalls Mavis Gallant. She is an important and powerful new voice.

评分正如理想国的slogan“想象另一种可能”,《解说疾病的人》给我们提供了一个关于印度移民生活与文化的切面,在故事里窥探他们体验原生文化与移民时代的摩擦与融合,同时也让我们想象另一块大陆与另一个时代的多面可能。不管是第三人称还是第一人称,都有极大的代入感,孤独到只...

有幾篇short stories還能寫的那麼拖拉……不過narrator的使用手法值得研習…總體上挺矯情的一堆事。
评分之前讨论时因为准备其他考试,几乎把大部分reading翘过去,现在又自己心甘情愿的拿起来重读。不愧是普利策得奖小说,越是漫不经心的喃喃叙述,越有深藏暗涌的感动,就好像最好的年华总在平实的日子里。
评分小清新
评分写的太他娘的好了
评分Jhumpa Lahiri is a quiet observer, a smart philosopher, an unbiased narrator and a romantic poet. She is my writing goal.
