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
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...

她也好，李翊雲也罷，亞裔移民女作傢給我的感覺就是碎碎念。用的詞也不平淡（畢竟跟著第一篇我學瞭一堆印度料理的名字，還會用arsenal比喻夫妻冷戰時女主角手上的筆），但就是無聊無趣，占瞭個政治正確的道理，就算是寫戰場上的故事也擺脫不瞭方寸之間小傢子氣的格局。
评分之前討論時因為準備其他考試，幾乎把大部分reading翹過去，現在又自己心甘情願的拿起來重讀。不愧是普利策得奬小說，越是漫不經心的喃喃敘述，越有深藏暗湧的感動，就好像最好的年華總在平實的日子裏。
评分寫的太他娘的好瞭
评分在TAL上聽瞭This Blessed House，果然是最有TAL氣質的一篇……
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。
