From the internationally bestselling, Pulitzer Prize—winning author, a superbly crafted new work of fiction: eight stories that take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand.
In the stunning title story, Ruma, a young mother in a new city, is visited by her father, who carefully tends the earth of her garden, where he and his grandson form a special bond. But he’s harboring a secret from his daughter, a love affair he’s keeping all to himself. In “A Choice of Accommodations,” a husband’s attempt to turn an old friend’s wedding into a romantic getaway weekend with his wife takes a dark, revealing turn as the party lasts deep into the night. In “Only Goodness,” a sister eager to give her younger brother the perfect childhood she never had is overwhelmed by guilt, anguish, and anger when his alcoholism threatens her family. And in “Hema and Kaushik,” a trio of linked stories–a luminous, intensely compelling elegy of life, death, love, and fate–we follow the lives of a girl and boy who, one winter, share a house in Massachusetts. They travel from innocence to experience on separate, sometimes painful paths, until destiny brings them together again years later in Rome.

在当今世界文坛,茱帕·拉希里(Jhumpa Lahiri)不算有名,尽管出了三部小说,但三部小说多少都具有某种同质性:性别的不平等、爱情的永恒缺憾,移民的身份焦虑,海海人间的种种隔阂。这种同质性或许和作者的经历有关。作为孟加拉裔印度移民的后代,她生在英国,长在美国,同时...
评分《不适之地》并非茱帕-拉希里的第一部短篇小说作品集。在她的处女作,亦是获得普利策文学奖的《疾病解说者》里,她就塑造了众多印度移民的典型形象。拉希里着重描写两代印度移民之间因为成长经历和文化环境的不同所导致的矛盾和互不理解。她借某个第二代移民之口道出其中的一...
评分上海,这个初夏陡然高温到三十五度的时候,泡上一杯好友寄自佛国莲台九华山的“九华佛茶”,慢慢展开了茱帕·拉希里的《不适之地》,慢慢品茶,慢慢读书,不知觉间,清凉萦怀。 茱帕·拉希里的整本小说集《不适之地》共分两部,第一部是五个小短篇,分别是《不适之地...
评分每个故事都看得我好心痛啊!!!特别是最后一个
评分比Interpreter of Maladies更忧郁,写作技巧也更复杂,也有更多禅意。Agony, bitterness, confuse是人生常态。从Hell到Heaven,纯粹因为苦难后的“悟道”。最后一篇Going Ashore,因为几乎亲身经历过,不忍卒读。
