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.
Nilanjana Sudeshna "Jhumpa" Lahiri (born July 11, 1967) is an American author of Indian origin, known for her short stories, novels and essays in English, and, more recently, in Italian. Lahiri's work explores the Indian-immigrant experience in America. Her debut short fiction collection Interpreter of Maladies (1999) won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Hemingway Award, and her first novel, The Namesake (2003), was adapted into the popular film of the same name. Her second story collection Unaccustomed Earth (2008) won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award. In 2011, Lahiri moved to Rome, Italy and has since then published two books of essays, and has a forthcoming novel written in Italian. She has also translated some of her own writings and those of other authors from Italian into English. In 2014, Lahiri was awarded the National Humanities Medal. She is currently a professor of creative writing at Princeton University.
相比于成就和纯熟的小说技艺,裘帕-拉希莉真是年轻得不可思议。 而她背后拖出来的、在英国出生的印度裔美国人身份,则又给我带来既古老又年轻的印象。 她的这本处女作,虽然只有九个短篇,但每篇我都看过三遍,所以相当于二十七篇。 每一篇中都有一个边界的折痕,从印度来的...
评分她的短篇几乎都有一个一句话就能说清的故事,情节不枝蔓、人物也不多。文字是平实和小火慢炖的功夫。短篇切忌往里头塞太多东西,有一条吸引人读下去的中心线索、有一两处场景的亮点就好,不然功夫互相抵消。 A Temporary Matter:丈夫去外地开会期间遭遇妻子流产。回来后,因...
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。
评分在拼命向外逃的时候,回头找不到自己的根。一点都不像卡佛好嘛!就在一篇篇“唔,不错”“啥这也能得普利策?”“妈呀细节描述太好了!”中很快翻完了。有点后悔买了书,放在Kindle里看看还不错
评分在TAL上听了This Blessed House,果然是最有TAL气质的一篇……
