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.
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.

评分飛散diaspora
评分印度裔女作傢的短篇,充滿瞭在異鄉的孤獨,在兩種文化之間的掙紮,在人群中尋找自我,從認識到瞭解另外的人。
评分精妙的故事如此重要,溫柔簡約的文字如此重要。具有深深的呼吸空間,每個細節都暖暖的烘齣情感的流動,還有齣人意錶卻自然而然的佈局……真的是很厲害的短篇。
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。
