具體描述
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.

讀後感
这本书其实前段时间就已看完，只是最近懒病又发作，所以拖至今日才写。 这当然并不是一本医学普及读物。而是一个印裔美籍女作家的第一本短篇小说集。不得不说，看完之后真是惊艳。原来写作真真需要天分，如无天分，还是不要勉强的好。 虽然我偏爱厚厚的长篇小说，而且也不常...
評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...
評分 評分 評分一个合格的作家得把一个故事讲述得完整，如果想被承认是一名好作家，还得把故事讲得引人入胜，这不仅仅靠技巧，还得依靠天分的加持，所以啊，想在站在某一领 域的金字塔尖上，光有努力是不够的，还需要上帝在额头上开启幸运之门的轻轻一吻，而裘帕.拉希莉就这样一名被上帝垂青...

评分經曆過移民生活，和在新的環境裏與他人的隔閡，這些故事就會讓你又一遍的感觸。書裏描寫的印度，在某些方麵跟我記憶中的中國真的很像。
