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.

評分故事和故事是不同的。那些急迫的、紧张的、扣人心弦的故事，可以从第一行起就抓住你的心，让你迫不及待地想知道每一点情节的发展；但也有那么一类故事，一开始是平淡如水，可字里行间却孕育着某些难以名状的情绪，而且这些情绪会随着阅读的过程静静地增长，直到有一行触动心灵...
評分1985年，是“现代电影界的莎士比亚”，美国导演、编剧、演员奥逊·威尔斯生命的最后一年。从转入大银幕开启作为电影人的艺术生涯伊始，奥逊·威尔斯的名字就在世界影史上闪耀着它不灭的光芒，而这一切始于时年26岁的他拍摄的电影《公民凯恩》。在这部自导自演的电影处女作中，...
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...
